Berlin: Afghan Drowns While Trying To Drown Ex-Girlfriend |
2018-02-18 |
(link to article in German) [BerlinerKurier] A quarrel with his girlfriend infuriated a 19-year-old, so he wanted to drown the young girl in the Havel. The 17-year-old was able to save herself, the perpetrator (a non-swimmer) sank in icy water. And now died of the consequences. On December 19, according to the findings of the police, the asylum-seeker from Afghanistan had pushed his 17-year-old German girlfriend on Spandauer Bergwall into the Havel. Then the man jumped behind and tried several times to push the young woman under water - which failed, however. Instead, the 17-year-old managed to swim away and reach the saving shore. The savage had less luck: Since he could not swim, he went down in the only two degrees (Celsius) cold Havel. The alarmed fire brigade and water police could pull the Afghan out of the water and resuscitate him. He was then taken to the intensive care unit of the Virchow Clinic. Here he fell directly into a coma. On February 14, Valentine's Day, the 19-year-old died of the consequences of his bad deed, without having regained consciousness once again, as confirmed by the Senate justice administration on Friday. His 17-year-old victim suffered a severe hypothermia in the attempted murder, but otherwise remained uninjured. |

#11 In all fairness, being from Afghanistan, he may not have been familiar with the concept of water. |

#10 What is wrong with the Germans? Nothing pejorative intended, they are simply being Germans. |

#9 What is wrong with the Germans? First they have romances with these thugs, then they don't let them chillax when they get all hot and bothered. |

#2 He was so focused on making her drown that it did not occur to him that jumping into an icy river wasn't a good idea. They love death more than we love life. |

#1 The alarmed fire brigade and water police could pull the Afghan out of the water and resuscitate him just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. |
