A Nigerian man suspected of killing a Hungarian woman in Germany has been detained in Budapest, the Hungarian national police bureau of investigation said on Friday.
The police website said the body of a woman had been found near Berg am Starnberger See, and Bavarian police established that she had died as a result of foul play in November or December 2021. DNA tests revealed that the victim was a 26-year-old Hungarian citizen.
An investigation revealed that a Nigerian citizen suspected of
having had close ties with the victim in Hungary was the alleged killer.
Bavarian police from Furstenfeldbruck contacted the Hungarian bureau of investigation in February 2022 and asked for the man to be detained under the arrangements of European law enforcement cooperation.
German police and specialists travelled to Hungary and continued the investigation with their Hungarian counterparts.
The Nigerian man was apprehended in Budapest’s 9th district on Tuesday,
and, following a police interview, he was taken into custody pending extradition, police.hu said. The man agreed to his transfer to Germany, which is planned to take place by mid-April, the website said.

Alleged killer. Suspected of. That is not the same as ” Nigerian man murdered…”
I think you should change the title of the article. Nobody is guilty until his guilt is proven in court.
I do agree with Mario as the article should actually be titled “Nigerian man arrested for the murder of a Hungarian woman.” It implies that the man may have or not murdered the woman. The current title also suggests that with the question mark at the end, but it reads more like a click bait title.
That said, it is important to acknowledge that this man regardless of his race or ethnicity had close ties to the poor victim. Most victims tend to have known their perpetrators. It is a sad fact, but it is the truth.
