On the morning of December 16, 2009, the manager of a shelter for asylum seekers in Dresden finds the body of Susanna, who has finished her high school education. The police launch a massive manhunt for the alleged perpetrator. It is the 32-year-old Pakistani Syed Asif Raza. He has been residing in Germany since 2006, his asylum claim was rejected. Since he claims to have no passport, he will not be deported. But in reality he has two passports with two different birth years: once he is 23, once 32 years old.
On Easter 2009, he approaches Susanna on the street. The two become a couple. Syed hopes to marry and have a child so he can stay in Germany. Susanna wants to become a teacher of mathematics and physics, but before that she wants to go to Australia for a year. He knocks her down with a rolling pin, the rolling pin breaks, then he strangles her with a cable. He previously stood out for violence against other women. Four charges have been filed.
On December 30, Syed Asif Raza is arrested in Calais in northern France.
In October 2010, Syed Asif is sentenced to life imprisonment by the Dresden Regional Court. The defense appeals (the outcome of which is unknown). A good year later, he calls Susanna's parents from prison. He threatens them that he will come back in 10 years. For this, he receives an additional 6 months in prison.
