Ghanaian asylum seeker charged with rape in Germany

Tuesday, October 17, 2017 ACCRA24.COM 0

<br />
<br />
<br />
A psychiatrist expert, Dr. Wolfgang Schwachula at Bonn in Germany during the trial of Eric X (the Ghanaian asylum seeker) in court said Eric is a danger to society and likely to strike again because he lacks empathy.<br />
<br />
On April 2 midnight, Eric X launched an attack on the couple when they were sleeping by cutting through the tarpaulin and threatening them with a tree saw ordering them to hand over their valuables- six euros (£5.35) and a music box.<br />
<br />
After robbing them, he dragged the 23-year-old woman outside, where he raped her and forced her boyfriend to watch. The boyfriend’s initial call to the police about the incident was considered a joke.<br />
<br />
The suspect was later arrested in Siegburg after a man recognised him from a composite picture of the sex attacker.<br />
<br />
Dr. Wolfgang Schwachula testified in court and shared his observations about the failed Ghanaian asylum seeker he examined before the start of the trial and observed throughout the court case.<br />
<br />
According to him, Eric X is fully criminally liable despite a combined personal disorder of emotional instability and narcissism for which he is not capable of empathy and abuses others for his purposes, therefore, putting his risk of re-offending at between 40 to 60 percent.<br />
<br />
Eric X appeared in court with both hands and feet chained due to his extremely aggressive behaviour. He made several accusations against the victim and the prosecution and when the DNA analyst explained to the court that the saliva sample taken from him matched the sperm found in the genital area of the victim, he dismissed the evidence saying “That cannot be, how does my DNA come to the woman?”<br />
<br />
On a separate occasion during the trial, he said out loud in court: “If the girl claims she has been raped, she must be a prostitute. All who help her in the lie are filthy people”.<br />
<br />
Both victims are currently undergoing psychological care as they are still heavily traumatised.<br />
<br />
Following his arrest, it emerged that the Eric X had been served notice by the German authorities ten days before the attack, informing him he would face deportation to Italy as his asylum application had been rejected.<br />
<br />
He arrived in Italy in January and his asylum application was immediately rejected but by then he had made the journey to Kassel in Germany.<br />
<br />
The suspect lived for a time in asylum seeker housing accommodation in the town of Sankt Augustin, near Bonn.<br />
However, local media have questioned why he was not immediately deported.<br />
<br />
Eric X. has been charged with aggravated rape and predatory blackmail.<br />

George Weah's son Timothy scores hat-trick in Under-17 World Cup for US [Video]

When you are the son of a former Ballon d'Or winner, it is likely you would be pretty handy in front of goal.<br />
<br />
And it looks like legendary former AC Milan striker George Weah has passed some of his skilful genes on to his son, Timothy.<br />
<br />
The New York-born 17-year-old, who has been signed by Paris St-Germain, scored a hat-trick for the United States at the Under-17 World Cup in their 5-0 win over Paraguay.<br />
<br />
His second strike in particular, a brilliant curling effort from the edge box into the top corner, was reminiscent of his father - who scored a memorable solo goal for Milan against Verona in 1996.<br />
<br />
Weah Sr also played for Monaco, Paris-St Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City in a glittering career that saw him named world player of the year in 1995 - the first and so far only African player to win the award.<br />
<br />
Now 51, he is currently in the running to be elected president of his native Liberia.<br />
<br />
But his son is now making a name for himself.<br />
<br />
"At this age he has a lot of potential," US coach John Hackworth told ESPN.<br />
<br />
"He is one of those guys who you can say has a lot of lofty expectations on him because of his name. But he isn't his dad, he is Tim.<br />
<br />
"He needs to make his own way. This tournament can be an opportunity for Tim to make a name for himself and maybe we stop talking about his dad in the background."<br />
<br />
Timothy said after Monday's match, which booked a place in the quarter-finals for the US: "There isn't a lot of connectivity in Liberia so I couldn't text my father. I texted my mom.<br />
<br />
"She told me to get down on my knees and thank God for scoring a hat-trick and now focus on my next game."<br />
