Woman Arrested on Suspicion of Murder in Death of Fabian, 8, After Large Police Raids

Prosecutors say the detention follows a synthesis of investigative findings as searches seized vehicles now headed for forensic testing.

Overview

  • Rostock prosecutors announced an arrest warrant for murder and the custody of a woman suspected in Fabian’s October killing, releasing no further personal details and noting the presumption of innocence.
  • About 120 officers searched multiple properties early Thursday in Reimershagen and nearby Rum Kogel as part of a coordinated operation led by criminal police.
  • Investigators secured several vehicles, including a four-wheel-drive, along with other items such as sports shoes, all to be examined by forensic specialists.
  • After a televised appeal on ZDF’s Aktenzeichen XY, investigators received dozens of tips and the hotline remains active, though officials said today’s arrest was not directly based on the broadcast.
  • Authorities believe Fabian was killed on October 10 between roughly 11:00 and 15:00, that his body was burned to conceal traces, and that he was transported by car to a pond near Klein Upahl.
