Romania's police chief has been fired over his handling of the murder of a 15-year-old girl, after it was revealed she made three emergency calls to report her own kidnapping.
The girl was abducted on Wednesday while hitchhiking home in southern Romania, with police executing a search warrant 19 hours after the girl’s last emergency call.
A 65-year-old suspect has been taken into custody, and police believe another teenager who went missing three months ago may have been murdered by the same killer.
