On December 15, an 11‑year‑old girl was found dead beside Primary School No. 10 in Jelenia Góra, Poland, and a 12‑year‑old schoolmate was later arrested as the suspect.
Discovery and Preliminary Findings
The girl’s body was discovered on the same day at Wyspiańskiego Street near Primary School No. 10. Investigators noted injuries inflicted with a sharp tool, likely a knife.
Investigation Proceeds
Police secured the scene, collected fingerprints, and retrieved a knife suspected to have been used in the killing. The weapon was described as a “finka” by the prosecutor.
Arrest of a 12‑Year‑Old Suspect
Officials identified a 12‑year‑old girl from the same school as the likely perpetrator. The court approved her arrest; the youths were said to have known each other only superficially and had no prior legal problems.
Legal Process and Next Steps
The minor cannot be questioned by police or a prosecutor; only a court may interrogate her. Police will bring her to court when a hearing is scheduled, and an autopsy will be conducted later this week.
