A 13-year-old behind the wheel of an old Porsche? Investigator Lannert (Richy Müller, left) leaves no stone unturned to get young David (Louis Guillaume) on his side. But as the title suggests, he feels “torn”…
In “Tatort: Zerrissen”, detectives Lannert (Richy Müller, left) and Bootz (Felix Klare) have their sights set on a family of perpetrators who remain steadfastly silent.
13-year-old David (Louis Guillaume) comes from a criminal family and is currently growing up in a residential facility. There he has a crush on his carer Annarosa (Caroline Cousin).
Alan Maslov (Nils Hohenhövel, right) and his always violent brother (Oleg Tikhomirov) are suspected of attacking the jeweler and killing a customer.
The toxic family clan is connected by “Grandma”, played by the 87-year-old Berlin actress Maria Mägdefrau (second from left). Her grandchildren Julia (Caroline Hellwig), Alan Maslov (Nils Hohenhövel, left) and his brother (Oleg Tikhomirov) are true “good-for-nothings”.
Bootz (Felix Klare) investigates the clan’s grandma (Maria Mägdefrau). She isn’t happy about the police visit – and yet a short time later the investigator is invited in for tea.
Educator Annarosa (Caroline Cousin) doesn’t think much of authorities and their guidelines. That doesn’t make it easy for the police to get the young woman on board in the fight against the criminals.
David (Louis Guillaume) comes from an extremely difficult background. His entire family is either dead, disappeared, in prison or wants to exploit him as a “grease-stealer” who is not of legal age.
The robbed jeweler (Jevgenij Sitochin, second from left) tells Bootz (Felix Klare, left) how he experienced the robbery.
Lannert’s (Richy Müller) attempts to get David (Louis Guillaume) to cooperate through his supervisor Annarosa (Caroline Cousin) prove difficult. The teacher hates the police.
At what age do you become criminally responsible in Switzerland?

No time? blue News summarizes for you
- The newest “Crime Scene: Torn” from Stuttgart brought Lannert (Richy Müller) and Bootz (Felix Klare) into an unusual situation.
- A 13-year-old suspect allegedly killed a customer while robbing a jewelry store. But the boy was not yet of criminal responsibility – and did not want to betray his criminal family.
- In Switzerland, young criminals are sanctioned very severely for their crimes compared to many European countries.
In the Stuttgart “Tatort” you almost felt like you were in a “Derrick” from the 1970s. Or when was the last time you saw a robbery at a jeweler in a modern crime thriller – in which a customer unfortunately died?
Im “Crime Scene: Torn” Afterwards, it was less about classic investigative work and more about the feelings and constraints of a classic criminal family: about anger, stigma and the nasty methods with which the perpetrators wanted to make their 13-year-old cousin David (Louis Guillaume) submissive.
“You are not yet of criminal responsibility,” it was said several times – also as a request to shoot an unwelcome witness. But what does criminal responsibility actually mean? Which crimes does this apply to, at what age and how are young perpetrators of serious crimes treated differently than older ones?
What was it about?
A Stuttgart jeweler was attacked. The customer who entered the store shortly before closing time was killed. The inspectors Lannert (Richy Müller) and Bootz (Felix Klare) had the well-known Maslov brothers (Nils Hohenhövel, Oleg Tikhomirov) in their sights because of the crime pattern.
The career criminals remained steadfastly silent, but their 13-year-old cousin, who was a scammer, seemed to be a weak point in the system.
The boy lived in an assisted living group and had a crush on his carer, Annarosa (Caroline Cousin). She strictly rejected authorities and especially the police. Were the investigators able to reach the actually kind-hearted David so that he quit the clan’s criminal system and betrayed his cousins?
What was it really about?
Will the “good boy” betray his toxic family or is blood thicker than water in the end? The creative duo Martin Eigler (screenplay, direction) and Sönke Lars Neuwöhner (screenplay) already have a number of “crime scenes” in their CV. These include the great case “The Man Who Lies,” also realized for the Stuttgart district in 2018, about a notorious liar.
If you look at other plots by Eigler/Neuwöhner, for example the Ludwigshafen case “The Evil King” (2021) about a perpetrator with narcissistic personality disorder, it is noticeable that the two creatives like to place unusual personalities at the center of their stories.
The focus in the Stuttgart case is on a boy who is forbidden from leading an upright, law-abiding life because of his family affiliation. What does this burden do to a 13 year old? And what about those who want to win him over to their side? “Torn” was not only a crime thriller, but also a morality play about how to deal with those under protection.
When do you become of criminal responsibility in Switzerland?
Young perpetrators are judged more severely in Switzerland than in some neighboring countries. In Switzerland, juvenile criminal law already applies to children and young people between the ages of ten and 18. This sets Switzerland apart from most EU countries, where criminal responsibility only begins much later.
What about the rest of Europe?
In Europe, criminal responsibility sets in at a similar early age as in Switzerland, only in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In Great Britain, even children can be sentenced to several years in prison.
Swiss juvenile criminal law is also primarily concerned with the protection and subsequent education of young people as well as the prevention of further crimes during adolescence or later adulthood.
In Germany, according to Section 19 of the Criminal Code, anyone who is not yet 14 years old when the crime is committed is not guilty. This applies to any type of crime. From the age of 14, young people are subject to the juvenile criminal law, according to which they are only partly of criminal responsibility. From the age of 18, normal criminal law applies, although judges have the chance to apply juvenile criminal law until the child reaches the age of 21.
Who was the young protagonist?
Louis Guillaume, a now 17-year-old young actor from Eisenach, was first seen as a child actor in two episodes of the ARD series “The Dr. Family” in 2019. Kleist». In 2022 he played in the series “Völlig meschugge?!” broadcast on KiKa. the main role of Benny Levenberg. The film adaptation of the novel “The Light in a Dark House” followed in November 2022.
A little further is the 24-year-old actress Caroline Cousin, who plays David’s teacher and “love interest” Annarosa. It is the third major “Tatort” role for the Berliner who works at the Düsseldorf Schauspielhaus.
In the powerful “Crime Scene: Borowski and the Big Rage” she played the unpredictable perpetrator who had kidnapped a child and in the Black Forest case “The Secret Life of Our Children” she played the stepsister who had escaped from the bigoted adult world with her lover and brother.
What happens next at the Stuttgart “crime scene”?
There will only be another “crime scene” in Stuttgart in 2024 after the summer break:
The case is said to be called “Let them go” and was staged by Andreas Kleinert. The four-time Grimme Prize winner and winner of the German Film Prize (“Dear Thomas”, 2022) tells of the murder of a young woman who had just moved from the village to Stuttgart when she was killed.
Lannert and Bootz also investigate in the victim’s home village and in the area around the family, which runs an inn and cannot cope with the grief and remorse for letting their daughter go. Moritz Führmann, Julia Jenkins, Irene Böhm, Timocin Ziegler and Sebastian Fritz play the episode roles.
