The Iraqi migrant who murdered the 14-year-old Susanna Feldman in Germany before fleeing the country boasted about how life in Germany was very easy. The now arrested killer confessed to the murder of the teen from Mainz in May this year. The Wiesbaden public prosecutor’s office assumes that he had previously raped the girl too.

The teenage girl was raped and choked for hours by 20-year-old Ali Bashar, but he evaded prosecution for his horrific crime by fleeing the country after he had escaped from an asylum center.
The Iraqi government however agreed to return him to Germany to face murder charges.
Bashar’s relatives in Iraq revealed that he would often boast about how good he had it in Germany, because he did not have to work as he was given generous welfare payments and “a salary from the state”.
A cousin of Bashar explained: “They said that they are doing well in Germany.” Less than 3 percent of migrants who arrived in Germany on the initial wave that entered the country in 2015, have jobs and they have to be cared for by the government.
In some federal states in Germany, asylum seekers even receive a Gesundheitskarte (electronic health insurance card pictured above) right from the start, which means they can go directly to the doctor while payment for the medical treatment comes from the municipality.
The mother and a sister of Ali Bashar were interviewed by the German news magazine Spiegel in northern Iraq. “Ali is my life,” said his mother. The sister sought to blame others for the crime: “We have to ask who gave him drugs?”
But police said Bashar had been a suspect in a series of previous offenses, including a robbery at knifepoint, AFP reported.
Worse still, is that the claim of the alleged murderer against the rejection of his asylum application in Germany, had gone unprocessed for almost one and a half years at the Wiesbaden administrative court.
Although a lawyer had filed a formal complaint against the negative asylum decisions for the Bashar family on 9 January 2017, these claims were never substantiated. This has emerged from asylum documents that Spiegel was able to see.
The lawyer told Spiegel that the parents of the alleged killer never bothered to furnish the court with further grounds to justify their stay and neither did the court ask Ali Bashar to file a statement to support his new claim. The competent judge at the Wiesbaden administrative court confirmed the sad state of affairs and explained that the lengthy duration of such proceedings, among other things, had overburdened the court because of numerous asylum procedures.
The alleged murderer came to Germany from Iraq in October 2015 with his parents and seven siblings. Their applications for asylum were officially justified by the family by stating that the children in their homeland could possibly have been recruited by armed Kurdish PKK fighters for armed conflict, but they were rejected.
Thomas Zeitz, AfD
Last week, Thomas Seitz of Germany’s AfD party attempted to hold a minute’s silence for Susanna Feldman in the Bundestag, but was constantly shouted down and heckled by leftist politicians.
Seitz was told that the “dignity” of the Parliament was “incompatible” even with an “appearance of instrumentalization of victims of crime”.
However, in 2015, a minute of silence was held for a Holocaust survivor who praised Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to open her country’s borders to migrants during a special parliamentary session.
Parliamentary chair Wolfgang Schäuble on Thursday said that “democratic rules” should be observed and that “no hatred” must be encouraged.
New figures recently released by the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) show a a rise of 23.7 percent in crime, a new record.
Reuters also reported earlier this year, that Germany has suffered a “two-year increase in violent crime” rising 10 per cent in 2015 and 2016, with 90 per cent of the increase being attributed to “young male refugees”.
Yet another study carried out by Zurich University of Applied Sciences found that migrants were responsible for a 92 percent increase in reported violent crimes in Germany during 2015 and 2016.
Alice Weidel, co-leader of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany Party, has said that Merkel should resign over the case.
