Rockhstan is a 20-year-old interpreter from Syria. Since 2013 she lives in Germany, first with her family, then in a women's shelter in Bitterfeld.
Under pressure she returns to her family. Rokstan is considered to be well integrated in Germany. A photo shows her in a grey sweatshirt without a headscarf.
On October 2, 2015, Rockstan will be stabbed and reported missing. Her body is found the next day in a gazebo in Dessau.
The police are looking for male relatives. The Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs is informed. Her father is probably involved, but has already left for Syria.
The motive is that Rokstan was raped in Syria by 3 soldiers. Since then she is considered unclean in her family. Although she was the victim, she is considered to have tarnished the honour of the family.
In the autumn of 2018, the press reported that no charges had yet been filed. Although Rokstan said during her life that her mother had tried to kill her several times, she (the mother) lives unharmed in Dessau. There is even a recorded telephone conversation in which the mother orders someone to kill Rokstan. The father is still wanted with an international arrest warrant. There is also a vague indication that Rokstan was pregnant. Maybe she also aborted the child. But the case is unclear. At a certain moment it is also said that Rokstan was strangled (not stabbed).
