Police charge 15-year-old girl with attempted murder

The police have detained and charged a 15-year-old girl in Brno with attempted murder. The girl is suspected of an attack in the forest on a 10-year-old girl with an ax and a knife, chopping off one of the child’s fingers. The minor remains in custody; the police have not released additional details due to the suspect’s age, but commercial broadcaster TV Nova reported the suspect lured the other girl into the forest, where she tied her up and subjected her to torture. If found guilty, the girl could be sentenced to seven years in a correctional facility for juveniles and later prison; the sentence for an adult is up to fifteen years behind bars.
