Two Ukrainian servicemen were stabbed to death at a shopping center in southern Germany Saturday evening, by a suspected Russian national, German and Ukrainian authorities say.

German police say a 36-year-old man died on the scene in the city of Murnau, and a 23-year-old man died later that evening at a nearby hospital.

Both Ukrainian men were residents of the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and had been in Germany undergoing medical rehabilitation.

A 57-year-old suspected Russian national was arrested at his home not far from the scene, according to German authorities.

A criminal investigation is underway for the suspected double murder.

    Are you seriously trying to suggest that every Russian immigrant in Europe is a potential murderer?

        Technically true, but as I said to catloaf, it’s a common argument used to denigrate groups of people that aren’t white and European. In Europe and America too. And possibly other places where most people originated from Europe.

        In fact, there’s a huge amount of bigotry against non-Russians in Russia, so I would not be at all surprised if some Russians are saying the same thing about Europeans in Russia.

        It’s also the sort of thing that is often said of groups like Roma. “They’re all murderers and thieves.”
