A military-aged asylum seeker from Jordan has been arrested and charged with murder after 21-year-old Alina, a Ukrainian refugee, was stabbed to death in the street last week in the picturesque Bavarian ski resort town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
The barbaric murder, allegedly carried out by 28-year-old Jordanian asylum seeker Shadi B., has rightly left locals reeling in shock, and comes only days after Lola, a 12-year-old French school girl was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by an illegal migrant from Algeria before being stuffed in a suitcase and dumped on the streets of Paris, the German newspaper BILD reports.
According to the report, Alina had been on her way to work at a local hotel where she works as a cleaner, at around 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 18th, when she was accosted and stabbed to death by Shadi B., who had been living in the same refugee accommodation building as her.
Following the stabbing, Shadi B. is said to have fled the scene of the crime on his bicycle, which he then rode to the Alpspitz restaurant. Andrew Syme, the owner of the restaurant who had seen a police notice about the grisly crime earlier that day, immediately recognized the suspect, who he had just served, and subsequently informed police of his whereabouts.
Shortly after that, police arrived at the restaurant and took Shadi B. into custody without a struggle.
The incident was the second deadly knife attack to take place in Germany last week. On the same day, a separate incident saw a military-aged migrant from Somalia go on a knife rampage which left two dead and one seriously injured in the city of Ludwigshafen, in Rhineland-Palatinate. Authorities have yet to establish a motive for the attack.
