Since the murder episode in Kandel (Pfalz area of Germany) a couple of days ago....that I essayed about (young Afghan guy, 15 years old....emotional about a break-up of a relationship ended up stabbin his ex-girlfriend)....there's been more bits and pieces of the story to come out.
I want to note that the national news media finally cover the piece...roughly 60 seconds of video and six lines to the story.
The other bits and pieces?
The kid came into Germany back in 2016 (he would have been 14 years old at that point). He was unaccompanied....meaning no parents or relatives with him.
Back about six weeks ago....cops in the area had to get involved in a situation with him because of an assault at the local school. What is generally said....someone uttered what he perceived to be an insult, and the Afghan kid beat the other kid up. That was probably a sign that he had issues and could not control his emotions.
About a month passed after that episode, and the parents of this dead German girl called the cops to report him on perceived threats, insults, etc.....to their daughter. That was probably another sign that he had issues, and someone within the social structure looking over him....should have stepped in.
The cops decided around 10 days before Christmas that he needed to come and speak with them. A summons was issued out, but later put off (reasons are fuzzy here). One might assume it was a few days prior to Christmas and schedules were full with the cops.
So the cops contacted him a few hours prior to the murder....he needed to show up at that office on Wednesday....the day of the murder.
The problem here, if you go and dig into it....there are thousands of juvenile migrants in Germany and in social home care. You can go back a decade ago and find that the Germans already has serious problems running the program with just German kids who had issues with their German parents, and had left the home. The system to include the juvenile migrants simply was thrown together and it really doesn't address the various emotional issues of these 'kids'. The maturity level is questionable.
What's going to follow here is a long process of investigation. Someone will eventually ask if he is really 15 years old. Then the question of the social program in the local area will come up and if they are capable of actually handling 'clients'. Then the cops will be questioned as to why it took that many days to react. All of this will bring more negative attention in the region (southwest Germany) over the juvenile migrants and the national policy.
A court episode? If they establish that he is truly 15 years old....the most they can hold the kid is three years in a detention center for youths. If they were able to determine that he's mentally unfit to be in the public, then he'd go to a permanent facility (not a prison). If he is determined to be over 17 but not over 20....having a maturity level that is lacking....they could still treat him as a juvenile and not send him off to adult prison. Finally, if they determine that he is over eighteen years old...then full-up murder charges will occur. So the question will go for a number of weeks until they've tested him and gotten more info on his past history in Afghanistan.
Full-up prison for life? You typically don't get that via a German court sentence....however, if you establish the fact that you were mentally deranged and unable to control yourself....you'd get a permanent sentence. With him being an Afghan? Well....yeah, that's another issue. The possibility of getting a deal for a life sentence in Afghanistan? No, that won't happen.
