This is one of those assault/knife attack stories that you occasionally come across in Germany. I'll reference this to BR24 (public network).
What the cops say is that in Bad Kreuznach (a sizeable town in the Pfalz, about 30 minutes driving SW of Mainz).....a Polish gal who was pregnant had shown up at a local hospital. She apparently has an Afghan boyfriend. There is some conflict in this relationship, with no description by anyone over 'what'. The woman ends up being stabbed by the boyfriend, while in the hospital (Friday of last week) and the child is lost because of the stabbing.
The attack? It took place in the hospital room. The second patient in the room got security help called.
Curiously, the Afghan guy's application for asylum....hadn't reached a completion stage yet.
Charges? Well....attempted murder, dangerous bodily harm, and consummate abortion. Just on the bodily harm charge, you could go up to a max of five years in prison, under German rules. I don't see this guy getting less than ten years in prison, if convicted.
Motive? Cops have yet to find anything. Whether the two were still friendly, or if the relationship had dissolved? Unknown.
One of the characteristics of these type attacks is that you end up with a thoughtless crime committed with rage, and one has to go back to question the maturity level of these young men (it's generally always men, and under the age of thirty for the most part) who commit these type of crimes. German society has wanted to believe in similar maturity levels, and the evidence has gone the opposite direction.
