After a murder committed with an axe in Kalletal, North Rhine-Westphalia, the manhunt for the Azerbaijani Elchin Agaev continues. The man, who had arrived in Germany as an asylum seeker, allegedly beat a refugee helper to death because he had an affair with his ex-girlfriend, the Bild newspaper reported.
According to the report, Agaev entered the flat where his ex-girlfriend and her lover were sleeping on Saturday night. There he killed his rival with an axe. Afterwards, he allegedly raped the woman in the flat.
The suspected murderer then fled in a car with his ex-partner and their two and five year old sons. After police officers stopped the car, the Azerbaijani fled on foot. Since then he has been on the run. According to his ex-girlfriend, Agaev had already killed one person in his home country.
The police suspect that the wanted man wants to approach Eastern European lorry drivers in order to continue his escape. They warn against approaching the 36-year-old.
As the victim’s widow reported, she had felt threatened by the Azerbaijani before the crime. Her husband had wanted to settle the situation.
An acquaintance of the family of the victim told the TV station RTL that the prime suspect had announced beforehand “that he would slaughter the whole family”. He complained that not enough had been undertaken. He, too, lived in fear, but instead of police protection, only increased patrols had been promised.
