When his partner split up, a 37-year-old panicked. At the St. Pölten Regional Court, the man, who had been convicted several times before, was sentenced to a suspended prison sentence and a fine for dangerous threats.
After twelve beers and a bit of whiskey, a 37-year-old’s fuse blew. ‘I’ll murder you!’ he would have shouted to his lover. But that was not enough: when his partner told him in early December that she would prefer to live without him in the future, it was too much of a bad thing.
Furious, he stormed into the bedroom and kicked in the door, only to set the blanket on fire seconds later. “I’m going to burn everything down,” he is said to have responded verbally. The scared (ex-)girlfriend was just able to prevent something worse.
The fact that the former Vienna Austria hooligan has ten previous convictions to his name due to his ‘exhaustive’ past did not earn him any brownie points at the regional court in St. Pölten. The man had to answer for dangerous threats again. And he partially confessed to the arson. But he could not remember the threats because of the level of 2.2 per mille.

“It was pure hell,” said the threatened woman, still visibly shaken. Her ex received an eleven-month suspended prison sentence and a fine including compensation for pain and suffering – which was not legally binding.
