Police find body during search for Valeriia (9)
Nine-year-old Valeriia from Döbeln in the German state of Saxony has been missing for a week. The police have been searching for the girl from Ukraine with a large contingent. A body has now been discovered during the operation.
According to police reports, a lifeless person was found in a forest near the town of Döbeln in central Saxony on Tuesday afternoon. The emergency services cordoned off the area after the discovery. "It is currently being investigated whether the deceased person is the nine-year-old girl from Döbeln who was previously wanted," said a police spokesperson.
According to "Bild", the Chemnitz criminal investigation department and the crime scene group of the State Office of Criminal Investigation are investigating the area where the body was found. The Chemnitz public prosecutor's office is also involved. Further details were not disclosed "due to the necessary, lengthy investigative work".
Hundreds of police combed the area
On Tuesday, the police once again deployed hundreds of officers to search for the child from Ukraine, who has been living in Germany since 2022. More than 400 police officers from Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt combed meadows, fields and forests in chains in the south of Döbeln. Valeriia was last seen on June 3, when she made her way to school. But she never got there.
Since the beginning of last week, a large police force has been repeatedly searching for the nine-year-old. Special dogs, a helicopter and divers were also deployed. The German Federal Agency for Technical Relief was also on standby with drones to support the search if necessary, a police spokesperson explained. Private search parties had also been formed in the town, which has a population of around 24,000. So far, however, there has been no trace of the girl.
