Even the supervisor was afraid of her killer brother
Money was all that interested him – and his cell phone: a caregiver for the very Afghan refugee who allegedly murdered his big sister in Berlin.
Berlin – Day 26 in the murder trial of Yousuf Sayed (27) and Mahdi Seyed H. (23) from Afghanistan. On July 13, 2021, her sister Maryam (34, two children) disappeared.
On videos from the Südkreuz train station, the brothers are dragging a trolley suitcase to the train towards Munich that day. Maryam’s body is later dug up in Bavaria. The alleged sister-killers are both silent.
Sabour S. (57, socio-educational family worker) has been the younger brother’s supervisor since 2019. He speaks Farsi (Persian) like them. He doesn’t have a lot of good things to say.
“Mahdi had problems. Wasn’t able to keep appointments and manage his affairs.” Judge: “If that’s all, there should be hundreds of thousands in Berlin under care!”
“Money was very important to him”
The supervisor: “Initially he was kind, listened, tried to do what I said. Then more aggressive, also on the phone. If the money didn’t come from the job center on time, if he didn’t get to his account. He said it was far too little to live on. But it’s enough for others. Money was very important to him.”
Judge: “Psychological abnormalities?” Supervisor: “Once he cut his arm. Everything was so bad, unbearable, he said. I suggested he go to the doctor. But he didn’t want to. It was hard to get anything out of him. He refused to take a German course. I didn’t want to take care of him any longer. Then his older brother Yousuf called and stopped by. He apologized for his little brother’s aggressiveness.”
Judge: “Did Mahdi change?” Supervisor: “Disrespect and aggressiveness remained, but he no longer showed it so openly.”
Judge: “How did he spend his days?” Supervisor: “He mostly stayed in the room in the home and played on the cell phone.”
Assessor: “You once said you were afraid of him. Why?” Supervisor: “The fact that he can’t control himself hits. He was a hundred times louder and more aggressive than the others.”
Assessor: “Who was in charge of the brothers?” The supervisor: “Mahdi did what Yousuf said. He had respect for him.”
The defense attorney quotes from an old psycho report on Mahdi: “Suspicion of emotional personality disorder”, “compulsive brooding”, “50 percent disabled”. Defense Attorney: “Why doesn’t she take him by the hand and take him to the doctor?” Counselor: “That’s not my job.”
Mahdi’s residence permit in Germany is said to have expired in December 2020. Six months later his sister died. Judgment on October 10th.
