The parents of the 22-year-old victim are calling for political consequences after Wednesday's fatal knife attack in Trier, and have now spoken out publicly for the first time. Marius Dick's parents are appealing to the German federal government to do more to protect citizens from such attacks, in an article published on Welt.de.
Something has to change in Germany, they said. Their son was stabbed to death by another young man of the same age, of Afghan origin. According to police, there is no known connection between the victim and the perpetrator. The accused has confessed to the killing and is now being held in a forensic psychiatric facility.
