A Syrian migrant in Germany will not be deported despite committing over three dozen brutal crimes in the span of just 31 months Last week, police arrested 17-year-old Kalil H. yet again after he brutally attacked a family with a knife in the city of Stuttgart.
According to a press release issued by the Stuttgart Police Headquarters, the altercation occurred on July 31 after Kalil got into a verbal fight with a group of people walking along Königstrasse.
The Syrian refugee and two unknown companions are alleged to have hurled insults at the family of five without provocation. Although the family tried to ignore the men, Kalil and his partners abandoned the scene to get knives before returning to attack them, seriously injuring two men and critically injuring one.
Despite committing nearly three dozen crimes in two and a half years, including bodily harm, dangerous bodily harm, coercion, threats, robbery, drug offenses, fraud, [and] shoplifting, the temporary permanent resident avoided police custody until his arrest last Wednesday. He has been labeled “extremely dangerous.”
News of the Syrian refugees’ arrest sparked outrage from the public, with many expressing their frustration that a violent serial offender has been able to avoid deportation while receiving social welfare benefits.
The German government has previously expressed it will not return refugees to certain countries, such as Syria and Afghanistan, because they are considered too dangerous to live in.
The teen’s arrest comes on the heels of several other unprovoked attacks on German locals by young refugees. As previously reported by The Publica, an 11-year-old Moroccan immigrant and leader of a migrant youth gang was arrested last month after committing a string of burglaries in the community of Norderstedt.
Included among his crimes are 101 cases of physical assault, 29 cases of drug use, 30 attacks on refugee shelter staff, 35 instances of property damage, and over 40 investigations for threats.
Last month The Publica also published a report about a young man in Minden, Germany, who was beaten to death by a gang of Syrian “youths.”
Phillipos Tsanis, 20, was attacked on June 23 while coming home from a graduation ceremony in the early hours of the morning. While returning home from the event, Tsanis was confronted by a group of approximately ten men.
Following an investigation, an 18-year-old suspect, who was known to police for committing other offenses in the area, and was believed to be responsible for Tsanis’ death, was arrested.
Despite initially refusing to release details about the suspect’s identity, police later admitted the boy, named Mwafak A., arrived in Germany in 2016 from Syria. He was charged with manslaughter and grievous bodily harm.
None of the other perpetrators have since been arrested, but all were described as having a “Southern appearance.”
