In a truly terrible illustration of the horrific consequences of mass migration in Europe, a German woman has been found dead, decapitated, and dismembered in Florence, Italy.
Once the birthplace of the Renaissance, the city now has a serious problem with homelessness, squatting, and crime.
It’s being reported that the woman who was murdered was homeless. Her name was Silke Sauer, and she was 44 years old.
Authorities arrested a 30-year-old Moroccan migrant in connection with the gruesome murder and beheading.

This migrant was also homeless and squatting in an abandoned building, where authorities found Silke’s body. They also found a bloody machete in his possession.
The unnamed North African suspect already had a criminal record for drug offenses. Yet, for some reason, he was allowed to stay in Italy.
Remix News reported:
The victim’s body was discovered late Wednesday morning in the former site of the National Research Council. The remains were located near an abandoned building, just 100 meters from the local high school, that had been walled up to prevent unauthorized access, but which was reportedly being used by squatters.
Initial reports suggested the woman had been stabbed, and investigators later confirmed that a blood-stained machete had been seized as evidence at the scene. Authorities believe the victim’s head had been severed and that her body was dismembered in an apparent attempt to conceal the crime.
According to the Italian news agency Ansa, as cited by Bild, a man who apparently knew the victim had been secretly living inside the abandoned structure from which the emergency call was made. He has since been arrested. The suspect, described by La Repubblica as a North African man with prior convictions for drug offenses. Despite his criminal record, he remained in Italy.
The man owned a pit bull that was allegedly guarding the body when police arrived. Officers were initially unable to approach the remains for around an hour because the dog would not let anyone near. Once the animal was secured, investigators were able to recover the suspected murder weapon and begin detailed forensic work.
Al Arabiya shared a statement from the Italian police:
“The investigation resulted in the seizure of several items, including a machete and a knife with blood traces, found in the immediate vicinity of the body,” the police said in a statement.
“A man, already known to law enforcement and currently hospitalized under surveillance, is a serious suspect in the brutal crime,” it said.
The man was spotted with “multiple traces of blood” on his clothes just before the woman’s body was found, it added.
That poor woman.
Keep in mind that this was entirely preventable.
The Moroccan migrant was known to law enforcement, yet they just ignored all the trouble he was causing and let it slide.
Let this be an example of what happens when you let dangerous immigrants in to your country and don’t deport those who commit crimes.
Europe’s open-border policies are a deadly gamble that prioritizes migrants over the safety of its own people.

It’s very sad.
Europe needs to get their act together on immigration.
Thankfully, our current administration won’t allow such open-border madness to continue here!
