An extraordinary parallel to the Dusseldorf outrages occurred at Saarbrucken (Rhenish Prussia), but in this instance the perpetrator was a .12-year-old girl, Kathleen Reifer, who confessed to having killed a Tour-year-old child and inflicted savage injuries on four others.
The body of the murdered girl was found carefully hidden in a hollow near a disused cemetery. In the*next few days a four-year-old girl was found distracted, with marks of throttling on her neck. Then in quick succession three others were discovered. Reifer maintains a stubborn silence in the face of questions by the police, and Has refused to disclose the motive. Her parents are excellent citizens.
