- Police
reported more than 4,100 knife-related crimes in 2018, compared to
around 3,800 reported during 2017 — and only 400 in 2008. Overall,
during the past ten years, knife-related crimes in Germany have
increased by more than 900% — from one a day to more than ten a
day.
- German
media do not report most knife-related violence. Crimes that are
reported are often dismissed as "isolated incidents"
that are unrelated to mass immigration. Moreover, many crime
reports, including those in police blotters, omit references to
the nationalities of the perpetrators and victims — apparently to
avoid inflaming anti-immigration sentiments.... Many Germans have
the sense that danger lurks everywhere, but the lack of official
statistics seemingly allows German authorities to pretend that the
problem is imaginary.
- Germany's
knife-crime epidemic has continued nonstop into 2019. During the
first 45 days of 2019, police reported more than 500 knife crimes
— an average of 11 a day.
Mourtala Madou, a 33-year-old illegal
immigrant from Niger, has been sentenced to life in prison for stabbing
to death his 34-year-old German ex-girlfriend and decapitating their
21-month-old daughter in Hamburg, Germany. Pictured: Police question

Mourtala Madou, a 33-year-old illegal immigrant from
Niger, has been sentenced to life in prison for stabbing to death his
34-year-old German ex-girlfriend and decapitating their 21-month-old
daughter at a subway station in Hamburg.
The grisly crime has drawn renewed attention to
Germany's spiraling epidemic of stabbings and knife violence, which has
raged since Chancellor Angela Merkel allowed into the country more than
a million mostly male migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
