BERLIN — The police in Berlin said on Thursday that they had arrested a 32-year-old male suspect following the discovery in his car of a body believed to be that of a 4-year-old boy who disappeared after he was separated from his family in the chaos outside the city’s main refugee registration center. | |
The police said in a statement that the suspect was being questioned in connection with the boy’s disappearance, but they declined to give any further information pending the outcome of the investigation and autopsy. | The police said in a statement that the suspect was being questioned in connection with the boy’s disappearance, but they declined to give any further information pending the outcome of the investigation and autopsy. |
The missing boy, identified as Mohamed Januzi, was first reported to have disappeared on Oct. 1. He was separated from his mother and siblings as they waited in the crush of several thousand people who gather each day in the courtyard outside the Berlin Office of Health and Social Affairs to submit asylum applications. | |
Mohamed’s case has come to symbolize the dangers for migrants when officials are overwhelmed, and many in Germany have expressed concerns about the strain on resources with more than 800,000 people expected to seek asylum in the country this year. | Mohamed’s case has come to symbolize the dangers for migrants when officials are overwhelmed, and many in Germany have expressed concerns about the strain on resources with more than 800,000 people expected to seek asylum in the country this year. |
An initial video showing the boy leaving the area while holding a man’s hand on the day he was reported missing helped the police and prosecutors search for the child. | An initial video showing the boy leaving the area while holding a man’s hand on the day he was reported missing helped the police and prosecutors search for the child. |
