Homa Z. and her daughter born: 1982
Murder: February 29, 2020
Residence: Berlin-Marzahn
Origin: Afghanistan
Children: unclear, how much
Perpetrator: Ali H. (32 years old at that time)
It is unclear whether the motive in this case is honor or greed. At the end of 2014 Homa and her family will come from Afghanistan to Germany. She has at least one daughter, but probably more children.
On February 29, 2020, the car mechanic Ali stabbed her and her 9-year-old daughter. He lives in the same house and is a friend of the family.
Father Ahmad works at a market stall during the crime. In the evening he cannot enter the apartment, calls the police, finds the bodies and collapses. Fire foam from a fire extinguisher is spread around the apartment, probably to hide traces.
A month after the crime, Ali is arrested. He himself is father of 3 children. A robbery is suspected. The reason for the murder of the daughter would then be to silence her forever as an eyewitness.
In September 2020 the trial will start at the regional court of Berlin. The murder weapon has not been found. It is said that the crime was particularly cruel, which does not necessarily fit a robbery.
