The Eritrean migrant accused of dismembering his partner and the mother of his daughter was once held up as a “model migrant” 10 years ago in a variety of German newspapers. These papers reported that he was an example of how “integration” could work.
Today, 41-year-old Asmerom G. is accused of butchering his own wife. In fact, authorities have still not found her head.
Germany — German media labeled him a ‘model migrant’ and integration success, but now he is accused of chopping his wife into piecesHis wife's head is still missinghttps://t.co/DS5i7TXMpG
German media were still singing his praises in 2016. The man from Eritrea had landed a job as an electrical assistant at a firm in Rheinbach, in North Rhine-Westphalia, and gave interviews about leaving his homeland three years earlier to escape political persecution.
He wanted German citizenship, he said. His boss at the time was quick to describe Asmerom G. as talented, reliable, and “capable of anything,” according toBild newspaper.
However, then reality arrived. Within a year, Asmerom G. was in trouble with the law. A brawl led to a conviction for grievous bodily harm at Siegburg District Court, earning him a six-month suspended sentence.
He moved on from Rheinbach and took up work behind the wheel of a freight truck. Somewhere along the way, he made a trip back to his home country — for reasons that remain unclear — and returned to Germany with a woman named Weghata A., who was 31, his wife under Eritrean law. On July 26, 2025, she delivered their daughter.
Three months later, Weghata A. was dead.
What happened next garnered headlines across Germany.
