Tragic demise of a 16-year-old occurring on the premises
In the small town of Geisleden, Thuringia, a tragic incident occurred at the local train station on August 11, 2022. A 16-year-old girl, who was commuting daily to her training place near the state borders with Hesse and Thuringia, met with a devastating fate.
Initially, it was assumed that her death was an accident. However, a 31-year-old Iraqi man, identified as Muhammad A., is now suspected of pushing the teenager onto a freight train. The public prosecutor's office responsible for this case is located in GΓΆttingen.
Muhammad A., who was last held under a detention order in a psychiatric clinic due to a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, is the accused in this incident. DNA traces of the suspect were found on the victim's shoulder, providing a crucial piece of evidence.
The family, who had fled from Ukraine, lived in Geisleden from August until the end of November of the same year. After the incident, they moved to Heilbad Heiligenstadt. The sympathy for the family was very great, according to Markus Janitzki, the mayor of Geisleden. He also stated that the girl was a cautious person.
The community and the girl's parents are experiencing outrage and anger following the incident. Around 14,000 euros have been collected for the family's funeral costs through two donation appeals. Flowers and candles at the station in Friedland remember the 16-year-old.
Many older people personally handed over money at the town hall in Geisleden, and a lot of donations were made online. The public's response was a testament to the great sympathy and support for the family during this difficult time.
The case has left a deep impact on the community of Geisleden. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of community support and empathy in times of tragedy.
