Germany: Kenyan Arrested After Missing Teen Girl Found Dead in Asylum Center

The only people who should be arrested here are the girl’s parents, who apparently thought it was A-OK to let their 17-year-old daughter visit an “asylum center” filled with rutting silverbacks.

Voice of Europe:

A 19-year-old native Kenyan with a German passport has been arrested after a teen girl was found dead in an asylum centre near Bonn. Police suspect that the girl was murdered, but need to investigate further.

The parents of the 17-year-old girl reported her missing on Friday. According to broadcaster WDR, she had gone to visit a friend, but never arrived there.

She visited the two-years-older African teenager in an asylum accommodation in Sankt Augustin before her death, a police spokesman said on Monday morning.

The suspect led the police to the location of the body. The 19-year-old told the investigators that the adolescent is lifeless “in his apartment,” according to a statement by police and prosecutors. Police do not exclude the murder was the result of a ‘relationship act’.

After the girl’s disappearance, at least 150 police and firefighters searched for her, the police said. The emergency services searched with ten divers in a lake, with a drone including a thermal imaging camera and a helicopter of the Federal Police.

She was found dead at around 8 pm on Sunday evening as search teams had been following clues from passers-by who had seen the girl’s clothes and handbag next to Sieglar Lake in the afternoon.

The refugee home is located on the edge of a dimly lit commercial area next to a railway line. After using forensics, the girl’s body was taken from the property to a funeral car in the early morning.
