At the age of 15 Maryam married her cousin Ghafur. Later she comes to Germany and works in geriatric care. They have a son and live in Idstein in the south of Hesse.
In November 2019 Maryam is getting a divorce. Her new boyfriend, who also works in elder care, will later say that she had many injuries on her body: bruises and ligaments.
On Christmas Day Maryam brings their son to Ghafur. He pushes her to the ground on the public road, sits on her, pulls her head up by her hair and cuts her face. When he wants to cut her throat, the neighbors overpower him. Maryam drags herself a few meters and collapses in the garden.
The police find Maryam's body among the parked cars. The knife has been recovered. The perpetrator is arrested in the apartment. He has a criminal record of theft. The son is sent to a foster home.
