Murder investigation after the mysterious death of 16-year-old Paul Hübner

Cologne police work is under high pressure after the body of 16-year-old Paul Hübner was discovered in the water on July 17, 2025. The news shocked not only the investigators, but also the entire community. Paul's mother, Katrin Hübner, is devastated and is desperately looking for answers. While the homicide squad, led by investigators Wolf and Hanna, investigates the circumstances of his death, everything points to possible foul play. Public interest is high and the questions cry out for an answer: Who brought Paul to his tragic end?

Young Paul was last seen at a party. A guest, 18-year-old Alex Pohl, is now the focus of the investigation. It is known that Pohl has a criminal record for theft, which makes him a prime suspect. Paul's best friend, Milan Jovanovic, is also targeted. On the night of the crime, the two had a heated argument that could potentially provide crucial information. However, whether the dispute is directly related to Paul's death remains to be seen. The investigators take all tips seriously and are working hard on the case. ARD media library reports.

Current developments in Bonn

Meanwhile, another incident in Bonn is causing a stir. The body of a 41-year-old man was found in a parking garage on Sunday morning. Police received an emergency call around 9 a.m. and found the body on the parking level of the parking garage. Initial findings indicate that the man fell from a plateau above, but it remains to be determined whether foul play was involved. The homicide squad was activated to examine all possibilities, while the evaluation of surveillance cameras has so far revealed no evidence of a crime before the fall. Day24 reported.

In view of these incidents, it is important to also take into account current developments in juvenile crime. The numbers speak for themselves: youth violence in Germany has reached a peak of around 13,800 cases in 2024, which represents a dramatic increase since 2016. A look at the origins of this development shows that psychological stress caused by the Corona measures and other social factors play a role. Male teenagers are particularly affected - they make up almost three quarters of the young suspects. You are faced with the challenge of not only clarifying the crimes, but also taking preventative action to prevent future conflicts and outbreaks of violence. Statista informed.

It is clear that both investigators and society are called upon to do more to ensure the safety of young people and to counteract a further increase in crime. Community support and education are essential. With the ongoing investigations, the police hope to soon gain clarity about the circumstances of the dramatic incidents and to give the affected families a voice.
