Fatal attack at the CSD: Suspect from Münster had several previous convictions (translation in comments)

  1. The appointment at Münster District Court, to which Nuradi A. was led in handcuffs late Saturday morning, did not last long, then the judge ordered pre-trial detention for bodily harm resulting in death against the 20-year-old Russian citizen. A. is said to have first insulted several women as “lesbian whores” at the Christopher Street Day (CSD) event in Münster last Saturday, shouted “Fuck off” at them and then approached them threateningly. When Malte C. tried to intervene in a protective manner, A. allegedly abruptly punched him in the face so brutally that C. lost consciousness and hit the asphalt. For days, doctors in intensive care struggled to save the life of 25-year-old Malte C., who described himself as a trans man. Early Friday morning, he succumbed to his severe injuries.

    That the rejected asylum seeker Nuradi A. was the disinhibited thug, suggest several video and photo recordings from the scene. In addition to the urgent suspicion of the crime, the judge also considered the grounds for arrest to be a risk of flight and repetition. As reported by “Bild,” the police file of the alleged perpetrator, who has lived in Germany with his mother for eight years and trained as a warehouse worker after graduating from secondary school, is said to be long. Thus, A. is said to have attracted attention not only several times for narcotics offenses, but also for bodily harm and therefore has already been sentenced to a juvenile penalty. The asylum application of the young man – who was German junior boxing champion in 2017 – has been rejected, but because of the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine, his residence permit has been extended again for another year until summer 2023.

    Shortly after the brutal attack, the Münster police headquarters set up a special commission, which evaluated various witness tips and, above all, extensive image and video material that several CSD participants had made of the incident. On some recordings, the face of the thug can apparently be seen so well that an investigator of the special commission was able to recognize and arrest the suspect on Friday afternoon at Münster A main station.
    At a memorial service for Malte C., to which several queer associations had called, gathered on Friday evening temporarily up to 6500 people on the Prinzipalmark in Münster. Lord Mayor Markus Lewe (CDU) also took part in the rally. The death of the young man shook him deeply, Lewe said. “This attack against a queer person is terrible. It concerns us all. Our urban society is open-minded and tolerant and will continue to fight to be a safe place for marginalized people.” But, he said, the horrific event shows that it is still necessary to work harder for equal rights and acceptance of people of different sexual orientations.

  2. Sad but predictable. Seems the attacker was living alone with his mother, maybe social services should be placing greater emphasis on single-families to help prevent such radicalisation? Maybe instead of allowing Saudi Wahhabism to take up the “father figure” role the state could focus on finding suitable ‘liberal’/‘progressive’ religious institutions? Remove the poison from the snake and it’s no longer poisonous.
