‘She’s a Slut!’ — Somali Migrant on Trial in Germany For Stabbing Sister to Death in Suspected Honor Killing
A Somali migrant is standing trial in Germany accused of stabbing his sister to death with a kitchen knife on her 23rd birthday to restore her honor after disagreeing with her assimilation in Western society.
The public prosecutor told a regional court in Bremen on Wednesday how the defendant had visited his sister’s apartment in the city on the evening of Dec. 9 last year intending to kill her.
It is the prosecution’s case that when the 23-year-old victim opened her front door to welcome her brother, she was stabbed several times with a kitchen knife to her upper body. A post-mortem showed that two fatal stab wounds penetrated her heart and lung, and despite the best efforts of emergency responders, she died at the scene.
The evidence against the defendant includes a telephone call made by the Somali national to the authorities at the time of his sister’s death during which he can be heard saying, “I just killed my sister. Do you understand?”
In the audio played to the court, the man provided police with his full name and gave directions to the scene of the crime.
Testimony from one of the responding officers described how, upon entering the apartment, the defendant fell to his knees and raised his arms. He was said to have had blood on his fingers and his clothes and told the officers he had attacked his sister with a kitchen knife and had already packed a prison bag before heading to her apartment.
The victim had been found lying on her back on her bed in pink pajamas with the kitchen knife bent underneath her body.
“I spoke to her, but there was no response,” the officer told the court. Her body was still warm but she had no pulse. The officer commenced CPR on the victim until paramedics arrived without success.
“I have seen many corpses in my life, and people have died in my arms, but the way she did, that was really extreme,” the 28-year-old officer told the court. She stated the defendant had told her he had stabbed his sister in the name of honor.
The prosecution also submitted evidence of two handwritten notes found during a search of the defendant’s home after the arrest in which he wrote, “My sister is trying to be a slut” and “I can live without a future but not without honor.”
The 24-year-old’s mental state is expected to be instrumental in deciding on his capacity to commit murder, a charge he denies.
A verdict is expected by the end of May.
Foreigners Responsible For 77% of Solved Rape Cases in Paris in 2023
With the much anticipated Summer Olympic Games fast approaching, and with Macron’s deeply unpopular government scrambling both to ensure the security of international guests and conceal Paris’s visible degeneration, new crime figures show the capital city in a less-than-favorable light and call into question authorities’ ability to keep women safe.
The figures, recorded by Paris Police Headquarters, revealed that 77% of rape cases in the capital solved in 2023 had been committed by perpetrators who do not hold French passports, with the majority of sexual crimes transpiring in and around tourist areas like Champs de Mars—soon to be packed with visitors to the games.
French broadcaster Europe 1, which saw the Paris Police Headquarters report, revealed 97 rapes were recorded across the capital in 2023, a figure up by 2% compared to those from 2022. Before this past year, the number had stayed relatively stable since 2018. Of the total recorded cases, 30 were solved with 36 perpetrators being arrested.
Apart from the fact that the vast majority of perpetrators were not French, most were drug-addicted, homeless, and unemployed, according to the report. Twenty were already known to police, including four for acts of sexual assault.
Grégory Joron, General Secretary of the Unité SGP Police-Force Ouvrière, one of France’s largest police unions, lamented the report’s findings.
That’s still one rape every three days in Paris… This raises a real question since it’s been stable since almost 2018 and overall, we can see that it’s a phenomenon that we can’t manage to extinguish.
For the union chief, the report’s findings are especially worrying in light of the upcoming Olympic games, where Paris is expected to welcome—and maintain the safety and security of— some 15 million visitors.
These are supposed to be places that have 0% delinquency since we are waiting to welcome millions of tourists for the Olympic Games, but, for the moment, these are still places where, unfortunately, we still have a lot of problemson our hands. After a certain time, at night, there is unfortunately still a risk of a woman walking alone to return from a party or even from work.
News of the report from Paris Police Headquarters comes days after Germany’s Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser presented the Federal Criminal Police Office’s (BKA) annual crime statistics report which painted a similar picture of the state of affairs there. Like the figures out of Paris, the BKA’s numbers also revealed foreign passport holders were massively overrepresented among sexual assault suspects at a national level.
Unfortunately, France and Germany are not outliers. The trend has also been recorded in recent years in Switzerland, Finland, Denmark, Italy, and elsewhere across Europe.
