The Bundeskriminalamt has enlisted Europol’s support to hunt Niyazi across Europe following suspicions he slipped back into Germany after fleeing abroad.

Overview

  • Investigators allege Mohammad Suliman Niyazi stabbed his 26-year-old Afghan ex-partner to death in her Halle apartment on March 10, 2019.
  • After the killing, Niyazi is believed to have escaped via France and Turkey before relocating to Afghanistan.
  • Prosecutors have issued a Europe-wide arrest warrant after concluding he may have reentered Germany following the Taliban’s 2021 takeover.
  • The Bundeskriminalamt describes him as 1.84 meters tall, 68 kilograms, with a slender build and distinctive scars on his left forearm and abdomen.
  • Authorities urge anyone with information to report tips through the BKA website, local police stations, or by calling the Halle police.
