A 22-year-old man from Styria wanted to kill his grandparents last August: “I didn’t like them anymore, I didn’t want them by my side.” According to a psychiatric report, the young man suffers from severe paranoid schizophrenia. It’s about getting acquainted. “These people are extremely dangerous,” the prosecutor emphasizes.
“For his project he took the largest, longest and sharpest knife from the kitchen drawer,” prosecutor Arnulf Rumpold said in Graz on Friday, “and pulled it from behind over his grandmother’s neck.” – “Why?” Judge Julia Riffel wants to know about the 22-year-old. “I thought this was the best solution. I didn’t like her anymore. She was ugly and lived in incest with my grandfather.” At least that’s what he imagined in his madness He wanted to kill them both, he thinks.
The assassination failed because the grandmother fought back. “She said ouch, squirmed and screamed,” he describes monotonously and totally without empathy. There was blood everywhere. Then the grandfather held him. “But I broke free and ran away because I was afraid he would kill me.”
“Didn’t you feel pity or guilt afterwards?” asks the chairman. “No!” explains the Styrian, “it didn’t bother me.” But now he already knows it was wrong.
The psychiatric report of the expert Manfred Walzl shows that the 22-year-old suffers from severe paranoid schizophrenia and was therefore not responsible for the crime. The Public Prosecution Service has requested his admission to a forensic therapeutic center (formerly an institution for psychologically deviant offenders).
“He is grateful for the help he has already received,” emphasized the defender. A jury decision is pending.
