A 27-year-old Afghan asylum seeker, Youssef N., was allegedly murdered by his roommate, Habib Rahman A., in Aue, Germany, in September last year. A further accusation is the rape of the decomposing corpse. According to a report by Bild, the suspect, Habib Rahman A., appeared in a court in Chemnitz on Friday to face charges of murder.
According to the indictment, the heinous crimes took place at an unknown time between September 8 and 12, 2024, in the shared apartment of the two men in Wettiner Straße in Aue. The accused allegedly stabbed the victim with a 14.5-centimeter-long knife and a cross-head screwdriver 19 times in the neck and head, causing the victim to bleed to death, as the jugular veins were severed, according to the prosecutor, Stephan Butzkies.
The indictment continues to describe the further events as follows:
“After the victim’s death, the accused undressed the lower part of the corpse and performed anal sexual acts on the still-present and increasingly decomposing corpse of the victim in the room.”
The reasons behind the Afghan’s murder of his roommate and the number of times he engaged in sexual acts with the corpse remain unclear. However, it is established that the accusations in the indictment are true, as the suspect stated, with the help of an interpreter, that “everything in the indictment is true.”
The suspect is no stranger in the area, as a police officer who entered the apartment after the crime, finding the suspect and the victim, was not even surprised. The officer reported that the Afghan had been a “time bomb” with the police having almost daily interactions with him for three weeks prior to the crime, during which he had repeatedly harassed women of all ages, from 10 to 70.
The suspect had previously been taken to a psychiatric hospital, where he was released, with the hospital stating that he was not mentally ill but had a heightened sexual drive. The German taxpayer will now have to pay for the likely life sentence of the perpetrator in Germany, with the trial to be continued soon.
