After a serious car accident with two dead children in the Hanover area, the prosecutor’s office has charged a 40-year-old with murder and dangerous physical injuries. A 39-year-old has been charged with complicity in both participating in a banned car race and endangering road traffic, the prosecutor’s office announced Friday in the capital of Lower Saxony in Germany.
In the accident in Barsinghausen on February 25, a two-year-old died at the scene of the accident, and his six-year-old brother died the following night. The parents and two other people were seriously injured.
Accelerated to 100 km/h
According to the investigation, the suspects delivered a race with their powerful cars. For this, the 40-year-old would have swerved with her car into the oncoming lane, both would have accelerated to well above 100 km/h. Both cars are said to have driven over a crest in a bend to the right at much too high speed, with the 40-year-old running into several cars in the opposite lane. The woman’s car skidded, hit the back of an oncoming car and spun around, hitting the family car with their two young sons. The family’s car was thrown through the air into an adjacent field.
According to the information, based on the investigation, the Public Prosecution Service assumes that the 40-year-old accepted an accident with fatal outcome for the occupants of the oncoming cars. The 39-year-old is charged with complicity in murder for allegedly speeding up his car before the accident took place. He is suspected of having contributed to the dangerous situation. An arrest warrant has been issued for the 40-year-old. She was reportedly arrested on Thursday after an international search in Poland.
