The suspect was supposed to be deported in March.
From the International Business Times:
On 11 August in the German city of Friedland, 16-year-old Ukrainian refugee Liana K. was killed after being struck by a freight train travelling at around 100 kilometres per hour. She had been on her way home from her dental assistant apprenticeship and was speaking on the phone with her grandfather when he suddenly heard her scream, followed by the sound of the train.
Authorities initially labeled her death a suicide (I guess teen girls with apprenticeships are known to jump in front of trains while on the phone with their grandpas?).
Then they were forced to admit the obvious after intense backlash from the girl's family and the general public.
German media later revealed that investigators had identified a suspect: a 31-year-old Iraqi citizen whose asylum request had been rejected months earlier.
His name is Muhammed.
DNA traces of the man were discovered on Liana's shoulder, consistent with a violent shove onto the tracks. Witnesses also reported that she had been harassed by migrants shortly before her death.
Huh.
Despite this evidence, the suspect was not detained on the day of the incident. Instead, police initially accepted his account that he had merely discovered the girl's body on the tracks. Only later, when forensic results came back, was he placed under arrest and transferred to psychiatric care.
Yes, the police gave the benefit of the doubt to the illegal Muslim migrant with a deportation order.
And not just that, but an illegal alien with known schizophrenia ... who was drunk out of his mind.
The suspect, identified in German media as Muhammed, had a troubled history. Prosecutors said he had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and was heavily intoxicated at the time, with a blood alcohol level of 1.35ā°. He had previously come to police attention for disruptive behaviour and had been sent to a psychiatric clinic.
For some reason, the police never deported this clinically insane Iraqi who snuck illegally into Germany. If they had, Liana's grandpa wouldn't have had to hear her bones being crunched by a train.
Though his asylum claim was rejected, deportation orders were not enforced, leaving him in Germany unlawfully.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
