German police believe the young Kosovo man who slaughtered the teacher committed the act for religious motives

The German daily Bild reported that the 17-year-old suspect had also stabbed a homeless man in the city of Esen, and left a jihadist message in a video recording by phone.

Herbert Reul, Interior Minister at Nordajn Westphalen, during a meeting of the Parliament's Home Affairs Committee, said the initial analysis of digital data shows that “crime has been motivated by the religious aspect”.

Federal prosecutors who deal with terrorism cases are considering the possibility of taking over this case, Reul said.

A 45-year-old teacher suffered serious injuries after being stabbed in a professional school last week. She underwent an emergency surgical intervention, but according to Reul, her teacher is now out of danger for life.

Police clashed with the suspected attacker when he encountered him about two miles from college and fired him with a firearm after the suspect had a knife in his hand.

The young man, who according to the media in Germany was a student at the school where the case occurred after being wounded during his confrontation with police, was sent to the hospital for treatment.

Bild on September 11th partially identified the suspect's identity, identifying him as Erjon S. This daily reported that he had stabbed a 44-year-old homeless man before attacking his teacher.

He had later recorded a video on his phone, where he said the teacher had named the prophet” and shouted Allahu Akbar, Bild reported.

“The investigators now believe that the student, who is in custody under suspicion of attempted murder, was pursuing a Islamist terrorist plan and attacked the teacher because of the alleged insults of his religion”, the paper wrote./Radio Free Europe/
