Germany: Afghan on Trial for Stabbing Death

Here’s another Afghan success story out of Germany. In Mönchengladbach, a 25-year-old Afghan named Hekmet S. is on trial for the stabbing death of another Afghan man, with whom he was staying. Hekmet S. already has a criminal record for grievous bodily injury and had been on parole.

The obvious question is, why was this man still in Germany?

A 20-year-old was killed by more than 30 stab wounds as he sat unsuspectingly on the sofa. In Mönchengladbach, a 25-year-old Afghan is standing trial for this. He already has a criminal record.

Barely half a year after a deadly knife attack on a 20-year-old in his apartment, a process has begun in the case in Mönchengladbach. The prosecution accuses the 25-year-old Hekmet S. of manslaughter, bodily injury, and resisting police. The presiding judge explained at the beginning of the proceeding that, “a permanent stay in a psychiatric (facility) or preventive detention may be in consideration.”

The man allegedly stabbed the victim, Abdul A., with brute force 31 times on February 5 as he sat unsuspecting on the sofa in his living room. The victim then dragged himself, injured, through the entire residence. That is reported by Bild-Zeitung (newspaper).

The motive or the cause is still unclear. The defendant made no statement in response to the accusation. He reportedly was staying with the victim after he was evicted from his own residence the day before because of violence against a roommate.

The defendant had a prior record

Two days after the crime, the Afghan was arrested at the Stuttgart Central Train Station. According to the indictment, he reportedly violently and repeatedly resisted the police there.

According to a statement by a parole officer, the defendant and victim knew each other because they had been working together at a large mail-order company. According to court documents, the defendant already has a relevant prior criminal record.

According to Bild‘s information, S. arrived in Germany in 2016. In 2020, he was convicted of dangerous bodily injury. At that time, the victim was critically injured. The Afghan received a juvenile sentence of 5 years. In 2023, his remaining sentence of 448 days was changed to two years’ parole, which ended in September.
