Shock in Wriezen: 17-year-old kills father in forbidden self-defense!
Wriezen, Brandenburg – A shocking family tragedy occurred on Tuesday evening in Wriezen when a 17-year-old son stabbed his 46-year-old father. Loud Picture The incident occurred around 7:50 p.m. when the emergency services and police were alerted. The injured man was immediately taken to hospital after emergency medical treatment, where he died.
The violent conflict began when the man got into an argument with his 39-year-old wife. The 17-year-old then shot into the situation to defend his mother. The circumstances of his actions are currently unclear, and the investigation by the criminal police and the public prosecutor's office in Frankfurt (Oder) is still in its early stages. The teenager was temporarily taken into custody, but the public prosecutor's office cannot provide any more information at this time.
Youth crime on the rise
The tragedy sheds light on a serious problem that seems to be becoming more and more present in Germany: juvenile crime. According to data from Statista Youth violence reached an alarming peak in 2024 with around 13,800 cases. Compared to 2016, this number has more than doubled. Experts from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) see psychological stress caused by Corona measures as well as certain risk factors in young people seeking protection as possible causes.
An increasing risk can be seen particularly among young males: in 2024, almost three quarters of young suspects were men. This underlines the challenge for society to protect young people and take targeted preventive measures. An increased focus on child and youth welfare could potentially prevent criminal careers.
Family constellations and arrest of the young person
The family dynamics in the affected family raise further questions. How could such an escalating argument happen? While the family has German citizenship, it remains unclear how their respective family backgrounds influenced the situation. The tragedy makes us pause and think about the living conditions and conflicts in families that often work in secret.
The case now requires critical thinking about the role of social support systems. It remains to be hoped that this incident will be an impetus not only to analyze the violent clashes, but also to find ways to take preventive action against such situations before they become equally fatal.
The coming days and weeks will show how the investigation progresses and what legal action will follow next. The authorities are examining in detail whether the young person actually acted in self-defense.
