Romania’s interior minister, Nicolae Moga, has fired the chief of
police after the murder of a teenage girl whose repeated emergency
calls went unheeded for hours.
Moga said the police chief was dismissed “because drastic measures
were required”.
The fifteen-year-old was abducted on Wednesday, but managed to make
three calls and gave officers details about where she was being held.
On Thursday morning, she called the emergency hotline 112 three times,
and said she had been abducted by a car driver who had picked her up.
Her family said officers did not take her calls seriously, while
police say they had difficulty tracing her.
The girl is thought to have died at the hands of her captor.
Police found human remains and jewellery the girl wore at a house and
has detained a sixty-five-year-old man for questioning.
They have also sent off the human remains for analysis and suspected
that they could belong to Alexandra, as well as an eighteen-year-old
who went missing in April.
