In a deeply disturbing case that has shocked Germany, a Yemeni migrant brutally murdered his wife in the Bavarian town of Krailling, just weeks after relocating to the country with their family. The woman, a mother of six children, was stabbed multiple times inside their home on June 15, reportedly for wanting a divorce.


The accused, 36-year-old Danon G., arrived in Germany in 2022 and successfully brought his entire family to Bavaria only two months before the killing. However, shortly after their relocation, he was arrested for the heinous act of murdering his wife, identified as Hezam S. Whether the six children belonged to him remains unclear from available reports.


According to Bild, a German news outlet, the attack took place inside the family’s residence. Danon G. allegedly forced his way in after one of the children opened the door for him. Once inside, he launched a vicious and calculated assault on Hezam, stabbing her multiple times in the back and delivering fatal wounds to her neck. Police have labeled the incident a “cowardly attack.”


Hezam had reportedly been living in fear for some time. Since her arrival in Germany, she had repeatedly contacted local authorities about her husband’s violent behavior. These concerns prompted police to issue a restraining order, followed by a formal court order to keep Danon away from her. Despite these legal protections, he continued to visit the family home in violation of the orders.


The situation escalated tragically when Hezam decided to file for divorce—a decision that ultimately led to her death. The restraining orders were not enough to prevent Danon from returning to the home and committing the gruesome act. Authorities are now investigating how the man was able to gain access to the residence despite existing legal prohibitions.


This case has raised serious concerns about domestic violence among newly arrived migrant families, and the apparent failure of legal mechanisms to protect vulnerable women in such situations. The local community has been left shaken, and social workers and law enforcement are calling for stronger enforcement of court orders and greater support for at-risk women, particularly those from migrant backgrounds who may face cultural, linguistic, or legal barriers in seeking help.
