A 17-year-old boy is charged with the murder of a 13-year-old girl in North Jutland on Monday evening. He is also accused of raping the girl, who was a minor. The boy denies guilt for murder, but admits guilt for violence resulting in death, his defender states. On Tuesday, he was sentenced to remand for four weeks. His defense attorney has not appealed the ruling. The police have seized an item they believe was used in the murder. The boy is said to have strangled the girl, before hitting her several times in the head with a brick. The investigation is not over. The police were notified at 10.10pm on Monday evening about an incident near a district heating plant in Gravensgade in Hjallerup.

The 13-year-old was later released. – This is a deeply tragic incident in which a 13-year-old girl has lost her life. We are fully aware that the residents of Hjallerup have woken up to a very difficult and different Tuesday, says head of investigation Frank Olsen in North Jutland’s police in a press release on Tuesday. Boyfriend relationship Olsen states that the 17-year-old was the dead girl’s former boyfriend, but that this recently ended. The 13-year-old girl – who was arrested with him but later released – was a close friend of hers. The three teenagers had been to a youth club together and, according to the police, the atmosphere was good at first. – When they start to leave the youth club early in the evening, the friend loses contact with the deceased. So she goes back to look. She meets the 17-year-old, and they also get in touch with the parents, says Olsen. LOCATION: The police are on site in Hjallerup on the night of Tuesday.

Found by the parents It was the 13-year-old girl’s mother and father who found their daughter lying with major injuries near the Hjallerup district heating plant on Monday evening. The police inform Ekstra Bladet. The mother then called the emergency number at 9.12pm. Police and ambulance rushed to the scene, and found the young girl badly injured. The girl was declared dead after a short time, North Jutland police say. Several police patrols are present in the small town of Hjallerup on the night of Tuesday. The police are working on the scene, just north of Ålborg. Several police patrols are on the scene in the small town with just over 4,000 inhabitants. First aid Despite rapid first aid at the scene, the girl’s life could not be saved, the police said on Monday evening. North Jutland’s police were then present with large resources in the area by the waterworks and Idræts Alle. Last night they asked people to stay away from the area. On Tuesday afternoon, the police state that they will still be visible in the area. – We encourage parents to talk to their children about the incident, because they will very likely be met by visible police and cordons in several parts of the city, says Olsen. “Unique and deeply tragic incident” The 13-year-old girl who was killed went to the same school as one of those arrested in the case. This is what mayor Mikael Klitgaard (V) in Brønderslev municipality says to DR. The school flies its flag at half-mast on Tuesday. The police write that they understand that the incident leads to insecurity in the area and a lot of speculation about what may have happened, but they emphasize that they see the case as “an isolated and deeply tragic incident”. Hjallerup is a small town with around 4,400 inhabitants north of Ålborg.
