Berlin: A 28-year-old Ukrainian was stabbed to death in a clash with his roommate at a refugee hostel in the Bavarian town of Eggenfelden in southern Germany on Saturday evening, German police said.

The Ukrainian man was stabbed by his 47-year-old roommate from Kazakhstan. The 28-year-old suffered injuries so serious that he died at the scene.

The killer was detained and will be brought before a magistrate on Sunday.

What led to the altercation was unclear. Police said they would not release any further details on the incident while the investigation was continuing.
