BERLIN: German police launched a manhunt Tuesday for a 19-year-old man suspected of stabbing a nine-year-old boy to death and bragging about the murder in an online video. Police said they were alerted Monday by people who had viewed the clip on the Darknet, a hidden online arena notoriously used by criminals to trade weapons, drugs and child pornography. The suspect was named as Marcel Hesse, described as an unemployed and socially withdrawn man not previously known to police. Trained in martial arts, the 1.75m (five foot seven) tall, slim, blonde man was thought to be wearing military style clothing and was possibly armed. Town mayor Frank Dudda said “we are bewildered and shocked, and we are mourning with the family.” AFPAFP/CC
