The exact circumstances of the offence and possible motives are still unclear, as the Aargau cantonal police announced on Monday. The police and the juvenile prosecutor’s office are investigating.
People who were walking in the area initially came across the 14-year-old girl shortly after 4pm on Sunday near the Schützenhaus. The girl was bleeding heavily and asking for help. Shortly afterwards, other hikers came across the 15-year-old lying on the ground bleeding heavily in the nearby forest.
