An Afghan asylum seeker accused of stabbing a teen to death has been arrested in Britain after apparently fleeing from Germany.

Migrant Milad Rahimi, 25, is wanted by German police for the brutal killing of a 17-year-old boy near a shopping centre in Schwerin, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in northern Germany, on 4th February.

Burly Rahimi is said to have stabbed his victim repeatedly in the chest before fleeing, escaping a huge police presence and a sniffer dog squad.

German police put out a European arrest warrant on Rahimi after first tracking him down to France before he fled to the UK.

A spokesperson for the Schwerin public prosecutor's office confirmed: "The suspect was in France and travelled from there to Great Britain."

Investigators tipped off the British police, who arrested Rahimi on 19th April and are holding him in custody, according to German media.

Extradition proceedings are underway to return Rahimi to Germany to face trial for murder.

Schwerin's shopping centre is said to have become one of the most dangerous places in Germany.
