Syrian teen arrested in Germany for brutal murder of young German beaten to death as he walked home from sister’s graduation
The main suspect in the murder of a young German beaten to death as he walked home from his sister’s graduation on Sunday is an 18-year-old Syrian national already known to the authorities.
Twenty-year-old Philippos T. and his 18-year-old friend were attacked in the early hours of Sunday as they walked home through the German town of Bad Oeynhausen in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Witnesses reported a gang of around 10 “Southern-looking” men confronting the pair before beating them to the ground and kicking them as they lay defenseless. “Southern” is often a description used in Germany for men of Maghreb or Arab origin.

Both victims were beaten so badly that they were hospitalized, and Philippos T. was induced into a coma, one he sadly never woke up from.
On Thursday, German media outlets reported that the main suspect in the case is an 18-year-old Syrian migrant who arrived in Germany back in 2018. He already has a considerable rap sheet, having previously been charged with property and drug offenses.
