The family of a man stabbed through the heart after allegedly groping a woman in Germany has blasted Elon Musk for tweeting about the incident while accusing authorities of hiding details over the case. An American woman is facing a potential 10-year prison sentence for killing Eritrean-born Alem Tekeste, 64, who had lived in Germany since 1980 and had long been a German citizen.

The Mercedes worker was travelling to visit his son for his birthday when he was stabbed by the 20-year-old woman in the middle of the day at a packed train station in Kaiserslautern. The woman – born in Germany but with US citizenship - claimed Tekeste groped her buttocks as they stood on an escalator on June 29. She pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the chest, piercing his heart.

Now, Tekeste's family say authorities have refused to provide more information to them about the case - and hit out at tech billionaire Musk for asking 'what is wrong with Germany?' in response to a tweet claiming Tekeste's killer was 'being held hostage for stabbing a migrant'.

They admit they do not know whether Tekeste committed a sexual assault, but claim there is no evidence of Tekeste groping his attacker. A relative and a source close to the family told MailOnline: 'When I saw Musk and what he wrote on social media I was so angry.

'They say he grabbed the backside of the girl. He may have, who knows - we haven't seen any footage because the prosecutors are not telling us anything. 'But if he did, does it really warrant such a violent, extreme reaction? Stabbed once directly in the heart as he was backing away.'.
