DRESDEN , Germany, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Police are investigating the death of an Eritrean asylum-seeking refugee in Dresden, Germany, a hotbed of anti-immigrant and anti-Islamic protest.
The state prosecutors' office confirmed that the body of Khaled Idris Behray, 20, was found dead Tuesday on a street near his home, a victim of a violent crime. Although police initially said no foul play was involved, Dresden police chief Dieter Kroll admitted Thursday, "It is murder. We now have evidence to confirm that a stab from a knife was the cause of his injuries."
