The Berlin Prosecutor General’s Office and police are seeking witnesses who saw a silver Citroën C5 estate with Polish registration plates. According to investigators, the car may have been used in a crime in which 13-year-old Lisa T. was killed.
The appeal was published on Wednesday, 11 November. It concerns a silver Citroën C5 estate with Polish registration number FG 85027. The car was secured in Altglietzen in northeastern Brandenburg. According to the investigators’ findings so far, it may have been used in connection with the girl’s murder.
What the car looks like
Police said the car has several visible body damages, black steel rims without hubcaps, darkened rear windows and silver roof rails. Photos of the vehicle were published together with the appeal.
What investigators are asking
The Berlin Homicide Commission (5. Mordkommission) wants to establish who saw the car before 8 November in Berlin or Brandenburg, especially around Bad Freienwalde (Oder) and Altglietzen. It is also looking for people who know who used it, as well as any other information about the vehicle. Information can be provided by phone at (030) 4664-911555, by email to LKA115-Hinweise@polizei.berlin.de, or at any police station.
What is known about the case
Lisa T. disappeared on Tuesday a week earlier in the Berlin district of Marzahn. Hundreds of police officers, tracking dogs, a helicopter and an underwater drone took part in the search. On Sunday, following a report of an intrusion into an abandoned house in Altglietzen, officers found the girl’s body there. A seriously injured suspect was also in the building, who – according to prosecutors – died in hospital on Wednesday. Prosecutors have ordered an autopsy of his body.
As of publication, German authorities have not said who owns the Citroën or whether it has any connection to Poland. The mere presence of Polish plates does not yet mean that a person from Poland is involved in the case.
Earlier, we wrote about another case with a German-Polish thread: the murder of a pregnant woman in Germany, in which the suspect was caught in Szczecin.
