BERLIN — German police launched a major manhunt Tuesday for a 19-year-old man suspected of killing a nine-year-old boy and posting a photo and video of the slain child and boasting about it online. Officers searching the basement of a house found the boy’s body, police spokesman Volker Schuette told The Associated Press. The photo has since appeared on regular social networking sites, Schuette said. Police were using helicopters and sniffer dogs to search for Hesse, who is unemployed and had no previous criminal record. The suspect was described as being thin, of average height, with short blond hair and glasses, and wearing clothes with a camouflage pattern.
