Since then he had been wearing an electronic ankle monitor, which was intended to prevent him leaving the refugee camp in Arnschwang, near the Czech border, where the crime took place. On Saturday evening, the 41-year-old took the young boy hostage, before fatally injuring him with a knife. The young child’s mother was also seriously injured in the confrontation with the man. The family, which also includes a six-year-old boy, were asylum seekers from Russia.
