Yesterday evening, Belgian police confirmed they had found the 13-year-old girl who went missing in Amager last Friday.
Instead of going to school, she caught a plane to Belgium, where the authorities were able to confirm a sighting on a local train.
It has been confirmed she has been staying with a 19-year-old Afghan man.
She is now on her way home to be reunited with her family.
ORIGINAL STORY:
A 13-year-old girl who went missing in the Copenhagen district of Amager on Friday April 29 has not been found since.
Omra Khanwali was last seen heading off to school on Friday morning in the area close to Amagerbro Metro Station.
Her family reported her missing after she failed to return from Skolen på Amagerbro in the afternoon, as this was considered unusual.
Full police investigation
Copenhagen Police launched a full investigation over the weekend to trace Khanwali’s whereabouts. It has collected surveillance video and received input from family and friends.
“All information concerning Omra’s whereabouts could potentially be crucial to the investigation,” urges Brian Belling, the head of the Department of Dangerous Crime at Copenhagen Police.
“Maybe there are people with knowledge that they do not think is important, but most often it turns out that a lot of different pieces of information provides a better picture of what has happened.”
No speculation as yet
So far, Copenhagen Police has no further comments about the case and has not been drawn into any speculation.
Anyone with any information relevant to the case should contact Copenhagen Police via 114.
