Asylum seeker kills his German girlfriend for refusing to convert to Islam

An asylum seeker has been arrested for the murder of his girlfriend in Germany.

Ahmad G, 18, killed girlfriend Mireille B, also 18, because she refused to convert to Islam. He was in the process of appealing the decision to have him deported when he killed his girlfriend.

According to prosecutors, Ahmad snapped when Mireille refused to put on a headscarf. The controlling boyfriend got angry at Mireille’s refusal and stabbed her to death on Monday night in the northern city of Flensburg.

The murdered girl lived alone in the small apartment in which she was killed. The killer has reportedly admitted that a fight about Islam and the headscarf led to her death.

A good friend of the family of Mireille told Bild: “Ahmad was a jealous rooster who always wanted to control her. They have been an item since January 2016 but there were constant rows. He insisted she convert to Islam and always wear a headscarf. She wasn’t sure. Whenever she went scarfless there was trouble.

“Mi told me that he fled alone from Afghanistan and had a great longing for his family. He’s supposed to have a job in a civil engineering company. Once when I met with her he called her every two minutes on her phone demanding to know what was happening.”

According to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, Ahmad G. arrived in 2015 as an unaccompanied fugitive to Germany.

“His application for asylum was rejected. However, he had appealed against it,” said Clemens Teschendorf, spokesman for the city of Flensburg.
