College Admissions Cheating Scandal
Child abuse in Germany

Vision went black

A Muslim denies rape but admits to murdering a young teenage girl!?

An Iraqi asylum seeker has confessed to murdering a 14-year-old girl but says they had consensual sex, in a case which has rocked Germany.

Why did he murder the girl?

'My vision went black and then it happened,' Bashar told the court today through an interpreter. 'I don't know how it could have happened.'

Oh, this "consensual sex" wasn't his first time.

To Germany's far right, Bashar, who is also accused of twice raping an 11-year-old girl in a separate case, has become a symbol of the threat allegedly posed by a wave of mostly Middle Eastern newcomers.
