Overview

• A child's body found near Klein Upahl is believed with high probability to be missing eight-year-old Fabian from Güstrow, pending DNA identification.
• Preliminary autopsy indicates violent external causes; investigators have not announced a suspect and are pursuing forensic work including analysis of the boy’s phone and continued searches.
• In Hesse, an overnight explosion damaged a door in Dietzenbach, and state protection took over the inquiry because a political motive cannot be ruled out.
• The hunt for 40-year-old Kenan Mehovic continues after an SEK operation in Korbach failed to find him; he is wanted on a European arrest warrant and may be armed, police say.
• In Aschaffenburg, a Sicherungsverfahren opened over the January park stabbings, with a psychiatric report diagnosing paranoid schizophrenia and prosecutors seeking psychiatric confinement.
