“It’s a forest of horrors. I wouldn’t go there by chance, not alone, not even with a child,” said one of the women on the social network in the local Praha-Braník group. He complains about the strange existence in a tent in the forest behind the block of flats, a broken car in the parking lot inhabited by homeless people. “They make a mess and nobody does anything about it,” he complains.
It was in this locality that the murder of a minor pre-school girl took place on Wednesday night. Her father, who according to unofficial information is a drug user and should have been under their influence at the time of the crime, was allegedly accused of the murder.
According to Blesk, the victim was an approximately three-year-old girl. The appalling act took place in the Velký háj forest park adjacent to the housing estate behind the shopping center in Novodvorská Street, near their residence.
“Criminal officers have opened a criminal prosecution against a man for the particularly serious crime of murder committed against a child, for which he faces an exceptional punishment. At the same time, they filed a motion to take him into custody,” the police said on Thursday on the X network. According to them, due to the age of the victim and the circumstances of the crime, no further details can be disclosed, but he faces an exceptional punishment.
On Thursday, the Novinek editor went to a place that local residents have been complaining about for years. Nad Lesní divadlem street is the imaginary border between the high-rise blocks of flats near the Novo Plaza shopping center and the “forest of horrors”. The manicured lawns end when you enter the trees and you have to start paying attention to where you step.
There are two wrecks on the temporary parking area near the forest, one of which is said to be inhabited by homeless people. There is a huge amount of clutter in the forest around the fenced and landscaped minigolf, further in the forest there are also temporary shelters for the homeless. Mornings are empty.
Facebook came alive with criticism after the murder of a child. “The entire forest park is a disgrace not only to Prague 4, but I dare to say that to all of Prague. There are prostitutes, homeless people and an incredible amount of disorder everywhere. And it is constantly getting worse. All the co-owners take care of the entire area catastrophically,” wrote Lukáš Gavran.
“This is partly due to the city police, they always arrived to hand out fines, but that they would raise their asses and go through this hell, at least twice a day, and at least collect syringes there,” said Jarda Chlad.
