Child taken by life at the hands of an Afghan, with a bystander present
The investigation into the tragic stabbing incident at Schöntal Park in Aschaffenburg, which took place on January 22, 2025, has been concluded by the prosecutor's office as of June 11, 2025.
The suspected perpetrator, identified as Enamullah Omarzai, a 28-year-old Afghan asylum seeker, was arrested immediately after the attack near a train tunnel approximately two kilometers from the scene.
The attack targeted a group of kindergarten teachers and toddlers, resulting in a devastating loss. Two victims, a 41-year-old man and a two-year-old child, lost their lives in the attack. Two other individuals, including a kindergarten teacher, sustained severe injuries and are currently receiving treatment.
The kindergarten teacher who was injured in the attack was taken to a hospital, while another is receiving psychological support. The other children, thankfully, were able to be handed over to their parents unharmed and are also receiving psychological support.
The area around Schöntal Park was extensively cordoned off following the crime, and rescue services and police were present in large numbers to care for the injured and secure evidence.
Investigators are working at full speed to clarify the background of the crime, but as of now, limited information has been made public. Omarzai's personal history, motives, and mental health status have not been detailed in the sources found.
As of the current date, no updates on trial, sentencing, or further investigation outcomes have been reported.
What was the motivation behind the crime, politics or general-news, in the tragic stabbing incident at Schöntal Park that claimed the life of a 41-year-old man and a two-year-old child? Crime-and-justice investigations into the case have revealed little about the suspect, Enamullah Omarzai's, motives or mental health status.
