On March 15, it became known that the German police in Mannheim had found a little girl, the daughter of the murdered 27-year-old Margarita Razaz. This was confirmed by DNA analysis. The girl, who is only a month and a half old, was under the care of two men. They have now been arrested.

Law enforcement is currently trying to find the mother of the murdered Ukrainian woman, 51-year-old Marina Stetsenko.

Last seen in a restaurant with a new friend

German police reported that on March 7, the body of 27-year-old Ukrainian woman Marharyta Razaz was found on the Rhine River dam near Hockenheim. At first, law enforcement officers could not identify her. But later, when friends started looking for a missing Ukrainian woman, it turned out that it was Marharyta.

The body was found by a passerby. After an autopsy, it was confirmed that the girl had suffered "external violence" before her death.

Marharyta and her mother with their newborn daughter were last seen alive in a restaurant in the town of Bruchsal. According to Arina Yakubovska, a family friend, they were there with an acquaintance named Inna, who lives in the city of Waldorf and helps Ukrainian refugees.

According to the friend, the mother and daughter found this woman in one of the social media groups, and she offered to help them with the paperwork for the child and with the maternity hospital. But no one really knew her.

And after that, Ryta, her mother, and her newborn daughter disappeared. Inna's Telegram and social media accounts also disappeared.

Rita used to run a culinary business

Marharyta and her mother, Maryna Stetsenko, left for Europe in the summer of 2023. At first, they ended up in Slovakia. In one of the groups, Marharyta posted an announcement that they were looking for housing for 3-4 months.

After that, at the end of November 2023, they were already looking for housing in Germany, in the Mannheim area of Baden-Württemberg. At that time, the Ukrainian woman said that she needed housing for a long time, as one of the women was giving birth in a month and a half. The payment was promised through a job center, as they were registered as asylum seekers in Germany.

In January, the girl gave birth to a daughter. At the time of her death, the child was only five weeks old.

Judging by her social media pages, before the full-scale invasion began, Ryta was engaged in making cakes and edible bouquets for sale. There are many photos of her work on her Instagram page – bouquets for men, women, and children's gift bouquets.

Originally from Karlivka, Poltava region, Rita lived in Kharkiv until February 24, 2022. Her friends say that she did not communicate with the child's father. Ryta has a sister in Ukraine, but the family does not want to say anything yet, explaining that they are being asked by the police.

German police are searching for a grandmother and her young granddaughter. At the same time, family and friends are preparing to transport Ryta's body home for her funeral. If anyone wants to help the family, they can transfer money to the bank. The card number is 5375 4112 1647 8482, https://send.monobank.ua/jar/5pLC4pzXh.
