A 27 year old Syrian is suspected of having stabbed to death a counselor at the counseling facility for refugees today in Saarbrücken.

Allegedly the refugee got into an argument with the Red Cross counselor and had then proceeded to stab the man to death, a spokesperson for the police told the Saarbrücker Newspaper. The counselor passed away on location from his injuries. The 27 year old could be arrested a short time thereafter near the facility. This was a verbal argument that escalated, said the spokesperson. “Terror is in no way even a factor here.”

Tweet from Saarland Police:
“Deadly #knifeattack against counselor towards 10 in counseling facility in #Burbach, 27 year old suspected attacker arrested near facility,”

First there were no more detailed information about the victim available. According to the police, the Syrian man came to the Red Cross counseling facility for refugees and migrants that morning. The facility treats traumatized refugees and migrants in need. The alleged offender lives in Saarbrücken.

The Red Cross Facebook site says among other things:

“Red Cross president Michael Burkert visited the place where it happened, he spoke with co-workers and he answered questions by journalists. He expressed deep shock over the incident and he also expressed his deepest condolences. The Red Cross is now looking after coworkers and family to help them deal with the incident. The crisis intervention team and the emergency pastoral services are offering their help. The Red Cross did not give any more detailed information and they direct attention to the official police report.”
