Murssal A. born: 1989
strangled: 27 December 2013
Residence: Frankfurt/M.
Origin: Afghanistan
Children: probably none
Perpetrator: her father Abdul A. (47 years)
Murssal lives in Frankfurt, has two sisters and is considered well integrated. However, the parents hardly speak German. The family has been in Germany for several years.
Murssal's father Abdul is looking for a man to marry her in Afghanistan. She should live there too. Her father, who works as a janitor in Frankfurt, pays a dowry.
But Murssal refuses to marry the man she does not know and to move to Afghanistan. On December 27, 2013, her father strangled her and left for Afghanistan.
Neighbors call the police. The cops find the corpse on a chair, hands tied, mouth taped. There are other family members at the crime scene. It is unknown whether they will be investigated later.
Apparently, the father photographed the body. Because in Afghanistan he shows the photos to the families to prove that he has restored his family honour. He probably also gets his dowry back.
An international arrest warrant will be issued.
