The murder trial against the Afghan killer brothers Yousuf Sayed (27) and Mahdi Seyed H. (23) has been ongoing since March 2nd. They are said to have killed their sister Maryam (34). A supervisor testified on Friday.
Petra L. (56) was the legal guardian of her older brother in Bavaria for a long time and lived with her client for months. The man is thirty years her junior and is now on trial as a suspected murderer. The judge asks the attractive woman openly: “Was there something between you?” Succinct answer: “Like mother and son.”
And further: “I’ve been looking after him since 2016. My job was to bring him to Berlin. Because all siblings live in Berlin. He had mental problems, said: I can only be healthy if I am with my family. But it was difficult. He spent all the money on trips to Berlin. He was respectful, polite, reliable – to me. I was his mother. But he didn’t tell everything. Did warehouse work, minimum wage. He didn’t say where the money for a driver’s license came from.”

And further: “He kept his distance from his compatriots. The Afghans said: He’s wrong. They avoided him. I picked him up when he was kicked out at a shelter. About eight weeks. That was mom and son, that direction. I really felt sorry for him, to be honest. He then had a love affair with my neighbor below me. Although she is married and has two children. I always had to work a lot, she had a lot of time. She had a child by him. Sohnemann is now three years old, I think. I don’t think he intended to have a child. He had enough problems of his own.”
Petra L. reports: “He was torn between the worlds. We talked a lot about religion. He wanted to be a good, decent man, but he didn’t pray and he didn’t go to the mosque either.”
And she says: “Among the brothers and sisters, he was the poor one, the leper. All of them in Berlin, he alone in Bavaria. In 2019 he moved to Berlin. He lived here in Berlin. I applied to the district court in Berlin to be released from care. It was repealed on November 2020. Nonetheless, he continued to contact me. Whenever he was in Donauwörth, he stood by me on the mat and wanted advice and help. On July 30th he wanted to meet me, but it never happened. On vacation I found out about his sister in Berlin. I thought I was going to get hit.”

The supervisor concludes: “I can only imagine that they put pressure on him to take away his dead sister. His clan threatened him that he had to bury them. Otherwise the clan will kill him. It was always important to him: what do others think of me, how am I doing? He is afraid of dogs and cats and afraid of saying the wrong thing. Then he’d rather not say anything at all.”
On July 13, 2021, Maryam disappeared in Berlin. Videos show the brothers at the Südkreuz train station that day. You are lugging a trolley case to the train to Munich.
