  • Danish police are seeking video footage of a fatal stabbing that killed a 16-year-old student in Roskilde.
  • Authorities have urged anyone who received a copy of the video to contact the police at 114 to arrange for its handover.
  • The article also includes brief, unrelated news updates on Ukrainian ports being attacked, a police chase in Denmark, and a stampede at an Indian temple.

Midt- and Vestsjรฆllands Police are appealing for public assistance in obtaining video evidence related to the fatal stabbing of a 16-year-old gymnasium student in Roskilde last Friday.

Authorities stated that a video of the incident is circulating, but they do not possess a copy. They are urging anyone who may have received a copy of the footage to contact the police at 114 to discuss how they can provide it. The police hope this video will aid their investigation into the stabbing.

The article also briefly mentions other unrelated news items. These include Russian attacks on Ukrainian ports in Izmajil and Odesa, resulting in damage to military targets and a civilian ship, with four people reported injured. Additionally, a lengthy police pursuit involving a van suspected of drunk driving occurred in North Jutland, Denmark, concluding with the van being forced off the road. Finally, a stampede at a Hindu temple in northeastern India, triggered by a fallen electrical wire, reportedly caused seven deaths and several injuries among thousands of devotees gathered for a religious festival.

The police do not have the video. We therefore urge everyone who may have received a copy of the video to call 114 so that arrangements can be made for the police to obtain a copy.
