The suspect of a double murder, who was only 16 years old at the time of the three knife attacks on homeless people in Vienna last summer, will soon have completed his first week in juvenile detention. Now it became known: the boy’s dream career was to become a police officer. He now faces a prison sentence of up to fifteen years.
According to top lawyer Manfred Arbacher-Stöger, the (fully known) now 17-year-old youth will receive his previous two-person cell in the Josefstadt prison, possibly before Christmas, but in exchange for a place in a forensic-therapeutic department. facility until the trial next year to exchange.
There, the school dropout, who was described by the beaten mother’s neighbor when he was accused of bodily harm in court as a ‘actually nice boy’, must be treated for his apparent mental disorder and the resulting further dangerousness, and an expert report will be drawn up.
The two completely different faces of the phantom, who has been wanted for weeks because of his excessive use of drugs such as cocaine and ketamine, are also evident from his (failed) plans for the future: The boy’s dream career was to become a police officer. officer…
Now, as reported, he faces a prison sentence of up to 15 years. Plus – depending on the outcome of the assessment of his mental state by a court-appointed child and adolescent psychiatrist – an admission.
Cameras have been installed in the 17-year-old’s detention room. So that the security guards can keep an eye on him 24 hours a day – and can intervene quickly in an emergency. The emergency that prison psychologists fear: a suicide attempt by the boy.
“I killed with the handle of the ice pick”
The man who turned himself in to the police last Monday and made a confession of horror. “I am the wanted homeless murderer,” he told officers at the time – clearly proud and unrepentant – and immediately began talking about his actions. About the fact that in July and August – when he was only 16 – he stabbed two men and seriously injured a woman.
“I started looking for victims in June,” the suspect said during interrogation, “at night in different parts of Vienna. “I followed people without shelter – often for hours – and just waited until they finally lay down on a bench or in a meadow to sleep. And that there was no one else around.’ Then he stabbed the defenseless people. “They were screaming in pain, I attacked them until I thought they had no chance of survival.”
“I felt satisfaction in my actions”
The motive for his horror crimes? “I was sad because I wasn’t getting any affection from anyone, and I found it satisfying to know that someone was suffering even more than me.”
“But he’s a nice boy.”
“My son has always behaved empathetically towards me,” says his father. “He was – until the attack on me – a nice boy. Who often played the piano,” his mother emphasizes. “My parents don’t know me; Just like I don’t care about myself,” the 17-year-old sobs.
