A few weeks ago, I brought up the story about a guy in Germany of Afghan origin who killed his sister to preserve the “Family Honor”.
Well, it turns out this guy had a few other activities going at the same time.
“We are looking into other suspicions of rape in another incident,” said a spokesperson for the public prosecutor’s office in response to media reports.
German daily Die Welt reported Thursday that the man had met a young Afghan woman online, who he drugged and raped with an accomplice in Hamburg. He allegedly gloated about the incident online.
The man admitted to police that he killed his sister last week because she had turned away from her family, DDP reported. The family immigrated to Germany from Afghanistan 13 years ago, German news magazine Der Spiegel reported in its online edition. Both siblings have German citizenship.
The girl died early on Friday morning of multiple stab wounds in Hamburg’s Sankt Georg district.
The man had already been prosecuted for assaulting his sister and others. He was sentenced in March on an assault charge to one year and five months without possibility of probation, the Hamburg prosecutor’s office told German press agency DDP on Monday.
Yes, this man had a history of violence. One wonders why he was walking freely on the streets.
