A 29-year-old suspected “refugee” from Afghanistan almost stabbed to death with a knife a 36-year-old woman and her daughter, who was 16 at the time of the crime, in Speyer, Rhineland-Palatinate. The crimes were committed in October 2022, and the attacker’s motive was apparently jealousy, as the daughter refused to have a relationship with the Afghan. After the attacker had already stabbed the daughter three times with a kitchen knife, the mother rushed over, whereupon the Afghan also attacked the mother with 13 stab wounds.

“We treated him like a friend,” the two said during court proceedings, according to German Bild.
