Bavarian police are trying to establish the motive behind the murder of an Afghan woman who sought refuge in Germany and has reportedly converted to Christianity, like reported by tolonews.com
According to the news outlet the incident took place on Saturday close to a supermarket in Prien am Chiemsee in Bavaria.
The suspect reportedly stabbed the women in front of her children.
RT reported that the 38-year-old woman, who was attacked by a 29-year-old Afghan man, had been to a church service shortly before the incident.
Police are currently trying to establish the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim, RT stated.
“For us, only facts count. But there is evidence of a religious motive for the deed we are pursuing. But this is only one of the versions we can follow,” a police source was reported as saying.
Germany’s Bild newspaper meanwhile reported, citing family members, that the attack might have been triggered by the fact that the woman had converted to Christianity several years ago.
