After a nine-year-old was stabbed while playing in England, the police are now presenting a suspect. The case made headlines around the world.
After the killing of a nine-year-old girl in England, the police arrested a suspect. The 22-year-old was caught in a park in the eastern English port city of Boston. The police announced on Saturday. She had previously searched for a man using surveillance camera footage.
The police thanked the population for their help. Own investigations and tips would have led to the arrest. “We are not seeking anyone else in connection with this case,” investigators said. Earlier, two people arrested in connection with the case were released.
Stabbed while playing on the street
The girl was stabbed to death on a quiet street in downtown Boston early Thursday evening. As the Times newspaper reported on Saturday, the child was playing with her younger sister when she was attacked. The mother saw the act from a café, the newspaper The Sun reported.
The paper wrote that one possible motive was that the alleged perpetrator had demanded money for factory work from the mother, who was the head of a personnel agency. The case sparked national outrage and drew worldwide attention, with Home Secretary Priti Patel expressing shock.
