A young family just got back from a shopping trip in the coastal city of Rostock when, just hours later, the Algerian migrant father severely stabbed his partner and then leapt from a 10-story building grasping the woman’s 9-month-old baby, which also died after initially surviving severe injuries.
According to police, the couple began a heated argument, which led to the man stabbing his partner multiple times inside their high-rise building on Roald-Amundsen-Strasse.
Afterward, he grabbed his daughter and leaped out of a window on the 10th story.
The 34-year-old man died on impact or shortly thereafter, whereas his daughter survived the fall with life-threatening injuries. When police and rescue services arrived on scene, the baby was still screaming for her life. The little girl was rushed to the hospital, but doctors were unable to save her.

“Unfortunately, the baby died on Saturday,” said public prosecutor Manuela Merkel regarding the incident.
The mother was also rushed to the hospital with severe stab wounds, but doctors were able to save her life.
According to German publication OZ, the young woman was able to say goodbye to her little daughter in the university hospital before doctors shut off the machines keeping the baby alive.

Another woman was also present, the victim’s sister, who saw the man stab his sister. She is currently receiving psychological counseling after the horrendous incident.
The details of the argument still remain unclear, but locals have erected a cross outside the building and placed flowers as a small memorial to the murdered baby.
