The heartbreaking message from the mother of André, 9 years old, killed during the attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market

Among the victims of the car attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, is little André, 9 years old, whose mother is inconsolable.

“Why you? » André, a 9-year-old child, lost his life on the evening of Friday, December 20, during the attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany. Inconsolable, his mother published a moving message on Facebook. “Let my little teddy bear go around the world again,” she wrote. “André had done nothing wrong, to anyone. He only spent nine years with us on earth. Why him? For what ? I don't understand. »

The message continues: “Now you are in heaven with your grandfather and grandmother. They missed you a lot. Just as much as we miss you now. You will always live in our hearts. I promise you,” writes his mother, who ends her message with the hashtag #justice. In comments, people show their support for the family of the deceased, but also their shock and anger. “It’s incomprehensible,” says a family friend. André was a little angel to everyone. He enriched so many people in his short life with his kind nature and love for life. »

Five dead and more than 200 injured

Friday, December 20, at 7:04 p.m., Taleb Jawad al-Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old Saudi psychiatrist, a refugee in Germany since 2006, rushed with a “powerful” BMW into the aisles of the Magdeburg Christmas market, making five dead and more than 200 injured. The deceased are André and four women, aged 45, 52, 67 and 75, to whom Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the residents wanted to pay tribute the day after the attack. The assailant was placed in pre-trial detention on Saturday evening for five counts of murder, 205 attempted murders and several counts of serious injury. An Islamophobe, it seems that he acted to denounce “the way in which (Muslim) refugees from Saudi Arabia are treated in Germany”.
