Parents of Luise, who was killed, are demanding 50,000 in compensation from the perpetrators. Unlike in criminal law, it is generally possible to prosecute girls.
One of the defendant girls requested that the lawsuit be dismissed in the written preliminary proceedings. She did not deny that she and the other girl were involved in killing Luise. However, according to the court, she denied that the 12-year-old's suffering lasted as long as the plaintiffs stated. The court announced that minors could also be sued and convicted in civil proceedings.
