According to psychiatric reports, the Somali refugee, who in June stabbed three women and injured seven others in Würzburg, Germany, was probably deranged because of his mental health problems and therefore cannot be prosecuted.

An investigating judge in the Bavarian city ordered the 24-year-old man to be placed in a psychiatric facility. In fact, he was in the past confined to such an institution. However, the authorities released the toxically deranged migrant into the community time and time again.

Whether religious beliefs played a role in the June 25 act remains unclear, according to the Bavarian Criminal Bureau and the Munich Public Prosecutor’s Office. According to the toxicological report, the man was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Again, the attack was clearly motivated by Allah’s will. However, the authorities cannot afford to concede reality.

A migrant in the centre of Würzburg attacked people unknown to him. Three women died and five others suffered life-threatening injuries. Four additional people suffered minor injuries.

According to witnesses, the aggressor twice shouted ‘Allah Akbar’ during the attack. Radical Muslims use this phrase as a challenge to fight, abusing the religious formula that Muslims around the world have used for centuries.

The suspected Somali (they don’t know where he came from) was first registered in Germany in 2015. Since then, he has experienced mental health problems several times. He last lived in a homeless shelter in Würzburg.
