(Deutsche Welle) Abdul D., an Afghan asylum-seeker convicted of stabbing his 15-year-old ex-girlfriend to death, was found dead at a juvenile prison in the western state of Rhineland-Palatinate, police and prosecutors said on Thursday.
Authorities said in a statement that Abdul D.’s body was found in his cell and that he had died from an apparent hanging. They added that “there were no indications of foul play,” and also that prison officials hadn’t seen any signs of “suicidal intent.”
On Friday, prosecutors said a postmortem showed Abdul D. had hanged himself and that there was no indication of foul play.
According to the state Justice Ministry, his cell was not under video surveillance since officials did not believe he posed a danger to himself.
