Heartbreaking grief
9-year-old André the youngest victim of Magdeburg
André is the name of the primary school pupil who was killed in the horrific attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg on Friday evening. He was only nine years old. His mother mourned him on Facebook with heartbreaking words. It is hard to imagine how immense her pain must be.
"Let my little teddy bear fly around the world again ... André didn't hurt anyone," she wrote. "He was only with us on earth for nine years. Why you, why only, I don't understand. You will always live on in our hearts. I promise you that."
André is now "with grandma and grandpa in heaven", she continued. She promised: "You will always live on in our hearts ... I promise you that." The family is going through an unbelievable tragedy and asks for peace during this difficult time. For this reason, we are refraining from sharing the post here. We express our deepest sympathy to the family. André will remain in our hearts.
Hundreds at vigil
Following the attack on Magdeburg's Christmas market, grief and sympathy continue to run high in the eastern German city. At midday on Sunday, several hundred people gathered for a vigil at St. John's Church, the central place of mourning in Magdeburg. Families were there, people of all ages. Many had tears in their eyes and held each other in their arms. They stood in silence with a view of the ever-growing sea of flowers.
A car had raced through the Christmas market on Friday evening, injuring more than 200 people. The suspected perpetrator is in custody.
