Yvonne Kussmann reported on the murder of 24-year-old CDU young politician Christoph R. in January 2025, stating that Mamadou Alpha B. cut his throat and then burned his body. The crime was committed nine days before the expiration of his residence permit. In the trial, Mamadou Alpha B. was deemed unaccountable due to paranoid schizophrenia, and his placement in a forensic psychiatric institution was ordered. Kussmann questioned the verdict. In her opinion, the man's behavior could also be explained by the rites and beliefs of the strictly Islamic Fulla ethnic group to which he belongs. She wrote that the illness had never been diagnosed before the crime. Kussmann noted that the Cottbus Administrative Court had already dismissed Mamadou Alpha B.'s lawsuit against the rejection of his asylum application in July 2021. According to her, the reasoning of the judgment reveals that he provided different dates of birth in his asylum application in Italy and lied during a hearing at the BAMF. Kussmann stated that this had no impact on his stay in Germany. She wrote that the perpetrator should not have been in Germany anymore and mentioned that she had revised her research text on the case. Furthermore, Kussmann requested support for her portal Aktuell Informiert. She wrote that expenses currently exceeded revenues. Donations were intended to facilitate research, court visits, on-site appointments, technical expenses, and the expansion of the portal. https://t.co/0RvVD8whhG #Politik #Asyl #Rechtssystem (translated)
