A 22-year-old Australian girl on holiday in Pakistan was shot dead in a case of mistaken identity on Sunday, 14 June 2026, after police opened fire on her family’s car as they fled a robbery scene. The incident unfolded in Lahore, where suspects on a motorbike had just robbed a nearby shop. When additional officers arrived, they mistook the family’s vehicle for the getaway car and opened fire, killing the child and critically injuring her parents. The suspects had already fled the scene on their motorbike and were not involved in the shooting. Pakistani authorities have launched an investigation into the officers’ actions, which have drawn international condemnation. “This is a tragic mistake that has cost an innocent child her life,” said a spokesperson for the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The Pakistani government has expressed regret and pledged a full inquiry .

In Belgium, police have launched a fresh appeal for witnesses after revealing that a victim beaten in a brutal attack last October will suffer lifelong injuries. The assault, which left the victim with severe trauma, occurred on 21 October 2025 in Brussels. Authorities released graphic video footage of the attack and urged anyone with information to come forward. “The violence used was extreme and has left the victim with permanent physical and psychological damage,” a police spokesperson said. The case remains under active investigation, with detectives appealing to the public for any leads .

Meanwhile, in Helsinki, Finnish police have arrested a man in his 40s suspected of attempting to murder another man in Kurvi. The victim, who suffered life-threatening injuries in a knife attack near Sörnäinen metro station, was hospitalised in critical condition. Authorities confirmed the suspect was taken into custody on Saturday, 13 June 2026, and charged with attempted homicide. “The investigation is ongoing, and we are examining all possible motives,” a Helsinki police spokesperson said .

In Germany, a 22-year-old rock climber died after falling 130 metres in the Bavarian Alps on Saturday. Investigators believe a foothold rock dislodged, causing the fatal plunge. The climber, whose identity has not been released, was part of a group on a guided ascent when the accident occurred. Rescue teams recovered the body and are reviewing safety protocols for high-altitude climbs .

Across Europe, traffic-related incidents continued to claim lives. In Brussels, a pedestrian was left between life and death after being struck by a tram at Place Liedts late on Saturday night. Emergency services pronounced the victim in a critical state at the scene. Authorities have cordoned off the area and launched a review of tram safety measures at the intersection . In Antwerp, a driver was filmed deliberately running over a 20-year-old man’s arm in a road rage incident, leaving the victim with serious injuries. Police have launched a manhunt for the suspect, who fled the scene .

The incident unfolded on Trojická Street in Prague 2, outside the P.M. Club, where police and emergency crews were called after reports of a mass brawl involving several people.
