The 42-year-old was mentally incompetent at the time of the crime. Due to paranoid schizophrenia, he is said to have murdered his mother’s partner in Lower Austria with a targeted shot to the head. The suspect confessed to the murder and was legally placed in a forensic therapeutic center.
A 62-year-old was literally executed in Melk on April 20 with a targeted shot to the head. Shot at close range by his stepson. “Mom, look what I did,” he allegedly told his mother. The 42-year-old then barricaded himself in his parents’ home for hours.
Completely emotionless
“I was crazy, like I was in a trance,” the 42-year-old repeats like a mantra, referring to his mental state. He follows his murder trial at the St. Pölten Regional Court completely emotionlessly. And confesses to the crime. He was not mentally healthy at the time of the crime and suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, making him a ticking time bomb, according to the report.
Legally binding instruction
Not only did he hastily leave his workplace the day before – “my colleagues wanted to kill me” – but the Cobra officers were alerted and he thought it was a gang of robbers. To ‘protect’ himself he fired four shots at the elite troops. Until he himself was knocked out by a bullet. Legal placement in a forensic therapeutic center was ordered.
