Barely two weeks have passed since 28-year-old Nimo Daud was attacked by a stranger on her way home from work. She was stabbed several times and her life could not be saved.
Shortly afterwards, a man in his 40s was arrested. He immediately admitted that he killed Nimo and is now in custody on suspicion of murder. According to both the prosecutor and the man’s defender, it is an act of insanity and a forensic psychiatric examination must be carried out.
On Saturday, a demonstration was held to honor Nimo Daud’s memory, but also to highlight the deadly violence. Near and dear ones do not think that Nimo’s death was noticed among those in power and politicians in the same way as other murders.
– No one has visited us or apologized for the sadness. They talk a lot about gang crime, but violence against women doesn’t seem to be a priority, says Mohamed Bashir.
