The decision by the TV executives behind Tagesschau, broadcast on mainstream channel ARD, which is funded by licence fee payers, has created anger across the nation.
Maria, the daughter of a high-ranking European Union official, was raped and drowned in the attack, which took place when she was on her way back from a party in October.
The 19-year-old medical student volunteered part-time with a migrant charity but it is unknown whether she knew her attacker.
A march took place yesterday after news broke the Afghan migrant had been arrested over the killing in the city of Freiburg.
Despite widespread anger Tagesschau declined to include the story on its news programme claiming it was no different to other isolated murders.
