The arrests took place last Friday in the Oberesslingen district, near a secondary school. According to investigators, students were never in danger. The alleged victim is also a teenager.
An arrest warrant for conspiracy to commit murder was issued and executed against one of the suspects. A second teenager is in pretrial detention on suspicion of serious child sexual abuse. The other two were released because a judge found no urgent suspicion.
During the arrest, officers found a knuckle duster on one suspect. Subsequent searches yielded several mobile phones and data storage devices, which are now being analyzed. Investigators from the Cybercrime Center had come across the planned act during other investigations into child abuse. Authorities did not provide further details, citing the protection of the minor suspects.
