Somali Man Who Stabbed a Man to Death and Assaulted a German Woman Has Gone Missing

A Somali man with an extensive criminal record is finally ordered to be deported, but before that can happen, he allegedly stabbed a man to death in an asylum center. Now, the man has disappeared and police cannot find him. This all comes after Chancellor Olaf Scholz had promised “smooth” deportations of Somalis.

The murder dates back to Dec. 14, 2024, when the 51-year-old suspect, Mohammed A.K. got into an argument with a 29-year-old man in his asylum center in Halstendbek in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. Both men drew knives, with Mohammed A.K. killing the man.

Police spokesman Björn Gustke told Bild newspaper: “The 29-year-old suffered a stab wound through the left abdominal wall. Despite immediate rescue measures, he died on the way to the hospital. At the time of the incident, a situation of self-defense could not be ruled out.”

However, the Somali already had a long criminal record, including an assault in 2023, which led to authorities requiring him to leave the country. Among his various crimes, he also insulted a German woman on a train and poured a bottle of beer over her head. He was sentenced to prison and was sent to a deportation center for migrants ordered to leave the country.

After the murder, the man escaped and is still in hiding.

He is far from the only Somali citizen required to leave the country. As of the end of February 2024, a total of 3,657 Somali citizens are required to leave Germany, with 3,311 given a temporary suspension of deportation and 346 without this designation.

However, in 2024, there were only 12 people who were actually deported to Somalia.

Once again, the left made big promises in this regard. In November 2024, Chancellor Olaf Scholz met with Somalia’s president, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. With much fanfare, Scholz announced that Somalis with deportation orders would be deported “smoothly” back to their homeland.

However, there was no binding document signed — Scholz only announced it. The German Interior Ministry refused to comment about when such a deal would actually be implemented, according to a report from Bild.

The case ultimately highlights just how broken Germany’s deportation system is. The German state can track down nearly anyone deemed guilty of “insulting” a politician or an “inappropriate meme,” but for illegal migrant murderers, the police are left scratching their heads.
