BONN - The body of a 10 year old German girl missing since August was found in a forest near the eastern town of Jena and police yesterday said they suspected a link to the murder last week of another girl of the same age.

State prosecutor, Mr Holm Kastel, said the murderer might also be the killer of Kim Kerkow, who disappeared last Thursday from her home in the north German town of Varel and was found dead on Friday in woods outside Amsterdam.
