Afghan teen in custody over fatal stabbing of German girl
Authorities said the teenage girl died of her injuries after the 15-year-old boy stabbed her with a kitchen knife in Kandel, in southwestern Germany. The alleged perpetrator is an unaccompanied refugee from Afghanistan.
A 15-year-old Afghan refugee was in police custody on suspicion of manslaughter in Ludwigshafen on Thursday after allegedly stabbing his ex-girlfriend to death in the southwestern German town of Kandel, in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
Authorities said the girl, also 15 years old, was stabbed following an apparently chance meeting with the boy at a drugstore on Wednesday. She died of her injuries after being attacked with a kitchen knife with a 20-centimeter blade.
The girl was taken to hospital following the attack, where she died shortly afterward. About 15-20 people were present in the drugstore at the time of the stabbing.
