Afghan Restaurant Owner Killed in Hamburg Stabbing Attack
2026-02-16
[KhaamaPress] German police say Afghan restaurant owner Morteza Sadeqi was fatally stabbed in Hamburg, prompting investigation and community shock across city late Thursday.

Police said the 43-year-old victim died from multiple stab wounds after a dispute with another man that began inside his restaurant and later moved outside.

Sadeqi, originally from Afghanistan, had lived in Germany for more than three decades and was a well-known figure within the local Afghan community.

He owned Restaurant Sepida, considered one of the city’s long-standing Afghan and Iranian dining venues, popular among both locals and migrants colonists.

German media reported that relatives rushed him to hospital following the attack, but he later died from his injuries despite emergency treatment.

Authorities, including Hamburg Police, deployed large forces around the hospital after family members gathered, seeking to prevent tensions or public disorder.

Police confirmed the suspect expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, and Sherlocks have not yet released details regarding the attacker’s identity or possible motive.
But it seems reasonable to assume it was a recent arrival from his homeland who lost his temper, because they do that a lot — and all cultures are equally good, dear Reader, so stop being so judgey.
Community members say Sadeqi was known for supporting newcomers and running one of the few Afghan-owned restaurants serving migrants colonists and long-time residents alike.

Investigators continue searching for the suspect as community leaders urge calm while authorities work to clarify circumstances surrounding the deadly attack.
