Afghan man on trial in Germany over deadly knife attack on toddlers

Afghan man on trial in Germany over deadly knife attack on toddlers

ASCHAFFENBURG : An Afghan man accused of a deadly knife attack on a group of toddlers in Germany went on trial on Thursday. Germany was shocked by the stabbing spree that killed a two-year-old boy and a 41-year-old man who tried to protect the children. Five toddlers from a kindergarten class were in a public park accompanied by two teachers when the assailant attacked them with a kitchen knife. The suspect arrested at the scene of the January 22 attack has been partially named as 28-year-old Enamullah O. He has a long history of mental illness and an expert assessment concluded his psychiatric state meant he was not criminally responsible. The public prosecutor’s office said there was no indication the suspect acted out of extremist or terrorist motivation. Prosecutors are seeking to have him permanently confined to a psychiatric facility. The trial is expected to stretch over several days of proceedings in October. The suspected attacker injured a two-year-old Syrian girl, one of the teachers, and a 72-year-old man who had also tried to protect the children. Authorities had tried and failed in 2023 to deport him to Bulgaria, the first EU country he had arrived in. In August 2024, he allegedly threatened a fellow resident at an accommodation for asylum seekers with a butcher’s knife. The Aschaffenburg stabbings provoked intense political reactions in Germany. Friedrich Merz, the leader of the centre-right Christian Democrats, promised a fundamental overhaul of asylum rules if elected. Merz relied on support from the far-right Alternative for Germany to pass a resolution demanding stricter immigration policies. His decision to rely on far-right support broke a longstanding taboo in post-World War II German politics. The move prompted fierce criticism and mass street protests across the country. – AFP

High Court dismisses army pensioners’ suit over pension adjustments

High Court dismisses army pensioners’ suit over pension adjustments

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court dismissed an originating summons filed by a retired navy personnel against the government concerning pension adjustments for Malaysian Armed Forces retirees who retired before January 1, 2013. Judge Datuk Raja Ahmad Mohzanuddin Shah Raja Mohzan ruled that pension adjustments for plaintiff Rafique Ali Ahmad Nordin were properly executed under the Pensions Regulations 1982. Rafique Ali filed the summons on behalf of 3,210 other former MAF personnel on April 11 this year against the MAF Council, Defence Ministry and Malaysian Government. The plaintiffs sought declarations that the defendants’ pension payments were wrongful and violated Article 147 of the Federal Constitution. Judge Raja Ahmad Mohzanuddin stated the court could not agree that pensions should adjust with every new government-issued salary scale. He explained that salary scales not resulting from government salary revisions would not trigger pension adjustments under Regulation 51 of the Pensions Regulations 1982. The judge agreed with defendants that referenced salary schedules from 2004, 2013 and 2016 resulted from amendments to MAF terms of service rather than salary revisions. He clarified these rules apply only to currently serving MAF members who accept appointment changes under new service terms. Judge Raja Ahmad Mohzanuddin consequently dismissed the originating summons despite acknowledging the plaintiffs’ serious intent to enforce their rights. He made no order regarding costs in recognition of the pensioners’ national contributions and non-frivolous legal action. The judge also dismissed the government’s application to strike out the suit entirely. Plaintiff’s counsel Datuk Dr Shukor Ahmad and Datuk Baljit Singh Sidhu confirmed they will appeal today’s decision. Senior Federal Counsel Nurhafizza Azizan and Federal Counsel Mohammad Sallehuddin Md Ali represented the defendants in the proceedings. – Bernama
