According to police, the alleged perpetrator – her 18-year-old German boyfriend – committed suicide by jumping from the 114-meter-high Highline 179 suspension bridge. The young woman received multiple stab wounds to her chest.
She was found dead in a car. A jackknife was found at the scene. This is probably the murder weapon.
The motive for the act and the circumstances were still the subject of ongoing investigations Tuesday morning. The police were made aware of the crime by a passer-by who reported the young man’s suicide on Monday evening. The body of the 17-year-old was then found in the Highline 179 parking lot. The autopsy of the two dead will be carried out on Tuesday, it said.
