After killing his brother-in-law, he fled to Germany through Italy.

Ten (10) days to the rape incident, Erik X got deportation notice from German authorities.

The lawyer of the 32-year-old Ghanaian, Martin Moersdorf, has refused to comment on both the rape incident and the murder of his in-law.

Moersdorf said: “We discussed the case, discussed the evidence, but at the present time I advised my client not to comment on the allegation.”
