The Associated Press. Two people, including a 2-year-old boy, were killed and three others wounded Wednesday in the Bavarian city of Aschaffenburg. The suspect, arrested shortly afterward, is a year-old Afghan with a history of psychiatric problems and violence who said over a month ago that he would leave Germany voluntarily. His asylum application was rejected in and authorities failed to send him back to Bulgaria, where he first arrived in the European Union, according to Bavarian officials, who pointed the finger at the federal migration office.
Merz added that people who are supposed to leave the country must no longer be let go if they are picked up by police, and should be taken into custody and deported as quickly as possible, helped by an increase in detention capacity.
If this is not fulfilled, that also destroys trust. The Aschaffenburg attack followed knife attacks in Mannheim and in Solingen last year in which the suspects were immigrants from Afghanistan and Syria, respectively β in the latter case, also a rejected asylum-seeker who was supposed to have been sent to Bulgaria.
Opposition politicians complained Thursday that there have been no further deportations to Afghanistan since a first flight in August. All rights reserved.
