Rostock – A woman, identified by reports as the ex-girlfriend of Fabian’s father, has been indicted in connection with the death of eight-year-old Fabian from Güstrow. The announcement came from the Rostock public prosecutor’s office on Monday, March 9, 2026.
According to the prosecutor’s office, Gina H. Is accused of murder by treacherous means and for base motives. The investigation alleges that on October 10, 2025, she lured Fabian from his home under a false pretense and drove him to a field near Klein Upahl. There, she allegedly stabbed him at least six times in the upper body and later attempted to destroy evidence by setting his body on fire.
Authorities state they have sufficient evidence to support the charges against Gina H., who has been in custody since November. The suspect has, through her lawyer, denied the accusations and has not made any statements as a suspect. The prosecutor’s office noted that the presumption of innocence applies until a conviction is reached.
The investigation into Fabian’s death has been closely followed across Germany. Even as the prosecutor’s office has not disclosed a motive, the indictment marks a significant step forward in the case. The state prosecutor indicated that the absence of the murder weapon does not significantly impact the case, as other evidence exists.
A hearing date has not yet been set. A deadline related to the case is approaching, though details were not specified.
