Woman Remanded in Killing of 8-Year-Old Fabian After Major Police Searches

Prosecutors cite a compilation of indicia as the basis for custody, with forensic reviews now underway.

Overview

  • A judge executed an arrest warrant for urgent suspicion of murder, and the detained woman has not commented on the allegations.
  • Police searched multiple locations in Reimershagen and nearby Rum Kogel with about 120 officers over roughly ten hours, seizing three vehicles and items including sports shoes.
  • Investigators believe Fabian was killed on October 10, then taken to a pond near Klein Upahl where his body was set on fire to conceal traces.
  • Officials have withheld identifying details and any relationship to the child for investigative and privacy reasons, while media reports naming a person remain unconfirmed by authorities.
  • More than 30 tips arrived after a national TV appeal on ZDF, and police say the arrest did not stem directly from that broadcast as evidence processing continues.
