    Sad indeed.

    However, this couple is Indian origin, but German nationals. They have taken the nationality two years back according to media. Then I wonder why Sushma Swaraj needs to extend support, spending our tax payers’ money. Germany is a rich country and will care about their citizens more that of our nation.

    Looks like the world class experts have already made a conclusion where the killer comes from and his religion. If you bother to google and check you will realise that the so called immigrant comes from Guinea and not the countries you are guessing. Its really bad what's happened to this couple but we don't know the circumstances.
    Since the origin of the human beings we have aways migrated for various reasons and that will continue to happen . Its ironic how people in this forum are enjoying the life as a result of migration and give lecture to others how immigration is bad. You hear about the 0.01 % negative effects of the migration but not the 99.99% positive effects go migration on families, adopted countries etc

    We can can guess the reason behind hiding the identity of the killer. This how most of the international media mislead the world community. Few haters already jumped to the conclusion when the report published the attacker was an "immigrant" . Very very unfortunate.

    As per German press regulation, the press is not allowed to publish the faith of the perpetrator/s. You have already had your answer, 85% of Guinea is Muslim.

    How about the effect of mass migration on places like Barking UK? I doubt that a sane person call call the beneficial or wanted. rapidly increased in ethnic diversity over the 2000s, from 19% black and ethnic minority in 2001 to 51% in 2011.
    facilitates neither integration or economic success.

    "Since the origin of the human beings we have always migrated for various reasons and that will continue to happen" That may be true...But this cannot be coupled with the welfare state. Migration should be possible for those that have the skills to be independant and not a burden in their new country of choice.

    These immigrants have created havoc all over. Mugging , molesting rape are a part of the culture. This is the pay back they are giving the society that fed them. Yeah it has 'no religion'.

    Along with refugees from the war-torn countries, many terrorists and criminals too sneaked in the Western and European Countries that would result in unrest in the coming days. They brought plane load of refugees without proper scanning and I strongly feel many terrorists were included among the refugees by their masters in order to hit their target in these countries. These countries have not learned lessons in the past and will not learn in the future too. I am not trying to say all the refugees are terrorists, at the same time you don't have to have all of them terrorists, just few of them are enough to create havoc. Mark my words, one day these people will bite the very hand fed to them.

    People,

    Jossey Sir's comments make more news in the Dajiworld than news itself...Hmmm...

    He is modern day Rampanna of Nallasopara…

    As Alwyn Canada mentioned, Germany has taken too many refugee immigrants...sooner or later Germany will pay a heavy price for this...Trump told this to Germany's Chancellor before 2 years...

    Rita Germany comments about social ills of India....because she loves India...where she was born...She could write an article about 'Effects of Refugee Immigrants in every day life of German Citizens'...I am sure it would be a interesting read...more ever she is from Belman...So I shall read it as well...

    RIP to Prashant and early recovery to Smita Basrur….

    All said and done, the queues of Indians in front of consulates of western countries in hope of getting a foothold in those countries are never ending, even after 2014 the trend hasn't changed a wee bit.

    That's just a lame excuse. If you look at the reality, most of those who seek migration to the west are educated in state owned premier institutions where education is highly subsidized using tax payers' money and many of them drawing fat salaries in India itself after the education, still lure of the west seems to be irresistible!

    Sad. Germany being such a great nation many refugees from war torn countries homed there and some of them are dangerous to that nation. May be that is a cause of this unfortunate event. Only god can save this world and good people. Our prayers are for this family and thier two children for the loss of thier father and speedy recovery of thier mother.

    Do you know how many people die mysteriously in India? Nobody knows because its very common. If one dies in America or Europe, it becomes a big issue, because its not common there. They will do thorough investigation and find out the reason. Do we care about such investigation in our country?
