Ayesha (2) was killed by her own father in Hamburg last week.

An original translation from Hamburger Morgenpost:

Throat Of Daugher (2) Cut – Child-Murderer Apprehended – Family Can Exhale

By Julian König, Anastasia Iksanov, Rüdiger Gaertner, October 29, 2017

Finally they got him! After a week on the loose, Sohail A. (33) was apprehended. It appears that the father, who allegedly cut the throat of his daughter Ayesha (2) in Neugraben [Hamburg – translator], defected via France to Spain. There, the handcuffs closed on Sunday.
The bestial bloody deed in the Wiedauweg shocked not just Hamburg. For days, the nation feared with the investigators and hoped for a quick apprehension. Many were scared, because the man, who, it seems, brutally murdered his daughter, was on the loose undetected for days.

Makeshift memorial in front of Ayesha’s Hamburg home where she was killed.

The Motive is still unclear. There are indications that the rejection of his asylum application could have been the reason for the inconceivably cruel deed. „A few days before the deed, Sohail’s application was rejected“, a source tells MOPO.
Sohail’s wife Lubna A. wanted to divorce him, because he was battering her and their son. According to the source, he threatened the rest of the family.
When Lubna A. was speaking on the phone to her husband last Monday, he told her that he was on the train with little Ayesha, taking her away. Desperate, Lubna A. immediately went to the police. She did not know at this point that it was too late. The little girl laid murdered in her parents’ apartment.

These past few days were like torment. The fact that the man who had killed her child probably was still in the close proximity tormented the 32-year old mother and her family. After she was released from hospital, Lubna A. stayed with her parents and her sister, and barely left her bedroom. „She is very unwell“, said her sister to MOPO on Saturday.
When the family learnt of Sohail A’s arrest, they can finally exhale at least a bit. „We have been waiting for this news every day“, says the sister. „We are very relieved!“ Now the family can mourn little Ayesha and does not have to fear Sohail A. suddenly showing up again.

It appears that after the murder, Sohail A. intended to defect from Spain to  Pakistan.

  2. “Now the family can mourn little Ayesha and does not have to fear Sohail A. suddenly showing up again.”

    That should not happen until the court releases him of his own recognizance in about… I’d say one week from now.
