Photo: DPAGerman police said Wednesday they were examining if there was a religious motive in an Afghan asylum-seeker's fatal stabbing of a compatriot, who had converted from Islam to Christianity. The stabbing took place in front of the woman's children. Police said motives of the assault have not been determined, and the man has since been interned in a psychiatric hospital. The man had arrived in Germany in 2013 and was residing at an asylum-seeker shelter. Germany took in more than a million refugees since 2015, and some have taken on the Christian faith.
