A Somalian migrant who beheaded his victim in a brutal murder that included 111 stabbings may avoid deportation from Germany. Prosecutors said that if the government sent him back to Somalia, he would simply return.

Mursal Mohamed Seid, 24, murdered his 52-year-old flatmate Alex K. in a homeless shelter in Regen in July 2021. He confessed to the killing and told police he thought Alex was possessed by demons that he had to kill, the Daily Mail reported.

Court documents state that Seid stabbed his victim 111 times before decapitating him. The victims' intestines spilled out due to the severity of the stab wounds.

Seid was confined to the high-security ward of the district hospital in Mainkofen, Bavaria, as he purported to have committed the offense in a schizophrenic delusion.

The German immigration authorities are eager to return him to his homeland of Somalia as soon as possible. However, prosecutors are hesitant to issue a deportation order, as they believe that the criminal would return to Germany regardless, according to Bild.

A few weeks after killing his housemate, the Somalian tried to escape the high-security ward of a Bavaria hospital by hiding in a food cart. Seid attempted a second escape last week and sneaked by his psychologist and intern while watching a Disney movie during a family movie night at the ward.

After eight hours on the run, 100 police officers found him three miles from the cinema.

Prosecutors have been debating his deportation for two years. Senior public prosecutor Oliver Baumgartner told Bild: "In this regard, it was necessary to take into account that the convicted person would be free in his home country and that there is no guarantee that he will be treated properly. A return to Germany was considered possible."

Seid wrote a letter in February that stated he refused to be deported back to Somalia.
