Authorities in Germany have expressed their 'shame and disgust' after neo-Nazi neighbours of a refugee home goaded a depressed migrant into jumping to his death.
The 17-year-old Somalian youth perched on the window of his accommodation centre in the town of Schmoelln was filmed, jeered and encouraged to 'end it all now!' by the right-wingers celebrated his doom.
When police officers arrived at the scene on Friday afternoon the youngster was in tears and close to the edge of the windowsill outside his fifth floor room.
For an hour negotiators tried to coax him back inside. But all the while neo-Nazi neighbours were booing, catcalling and encouraging him to jump 'One less parasite then!' yelled one racist. 'Go on, jump!' yelled others as the boy shivered in fear.
