The 18-year-old is reported to have broken into the old-age home in Neuenhaus, where he raped a paralyzed 59-year-old man. Police say the migrant then made his way into an adjoining room and raped another man before being confronted by the victim’s 87-year-old wife, who he is accused of killing.
It is understood the woman was living in the same room as her husband at the Haus am Bürgerpark care home.
The wife of the second victim surprised the rapist after which he killed her using “great force” to avoid being caught, according to German police.
The accused is currently being held in a psychiatric institution for observation, as he was reported to have been in an “alcoholic state” with “mental problems”.
His trial will be heard before the Landgericht Osnabrück’s youth facility.
Touched by the terrible events, the 32-year-old caretaker showed up on Wednesday, after he had taken over the shift for a colleague. On the usual tour at midnight, everything was still in order, but on the middle floor, however, he suddenly saw a person standing in the hallway in the dim glow of the night light.
“I was puzzled and thought it was a resident,” the nurse explained. When the person came to him, he asked what he was doing and where he came from. The alleged rapist then walked down the stairs to the ground floor and headed towards the main entrance, but suddenly changed direction and escaped.
The Somalian was however arrested soon after the crimes. In his home, the police found a pair of white – still damp – sneakers, and some damp clothes were hanging in the closet. This was reported by a 53-year-old police superintendent.
Last month, a 19-year-old Moroccan migrant pleaded guilty to raping a 90-year-old German woman in broad daylight on her way home from church.
Last week, it was announced that Afghan serial murderer and rapist, Hussein K., would be tried by German prosecutors as a juvenile, despite multiple medical age experts determining that he had been 22-years-old when he killed 19-year-old Maria Ladenburger. He had tossed her body into Dreisam River in Freiburg.
The girl was the daughter of a European Union official, and at least the second of Hussein’s victims.
He had already served a light two-and-a-half year prison term for raping a young Greek student and throwing her off a cliff.
