Overview

• The Staatsanwaltschaft Dresden has applied to the Landgericht Dresden to place the 16-year-old in a psychiatric hospital for an unlimited period.
• Investigators say the suspect was likely in a drug-induced state and is considered schuldunfähig, a status that could preclude criminal responsibility.
• The youth was arrested shortly after the May 25 discovery of the 21-year-old's body in the Laußnitzer Heide and has since been held in a specialized clinic.
• Police sources previously described the killing as carried out with a high degree of brutality during or after a large techno gathering in the forest clearing.
• The victim’s father recently received the exact site coordinates from police and continues to seek witness accounts to clarify what happened.
