A mentally ill North Macedonian (45) stabbed his ex-brother-in-law (43) to death in Uttendorf in October. During the trial in Ried/I. He was admitted to a monitoring facility, given pills and monitored. His traumatized victim, on the other hand, looks through his fingers and is quite angry.
During the trial he seemed as pious as a lamb, as if he could not muddy the waters: But the 45-year-old butcher had unexpectedly stabbed his 43-year-old ex-brother-in-law in the mouth with a pocket knife. Uttendorf in October. He is seriously mentally ill and therefore incompetent. At the time of the crime he was suffering from a so-called schizoaffective disorder.
Request for accommodation
On Thursday, the affected person – the current jargon for such criminals – was in court in Ried im Innkreis for intentional serious bodily harm. The Public Prosecution Service had submitted a request for criminal detention in a forensic therapeutic center.
“For me it all happened like in a dream”
The suspect himself was remorseful: “I’m sorry for what I did. It was all like a dream.” According to the report of psychiatrist Adelheid Kastner, at the time of the crime he was under the influence of his illness, which had lasted for about three years, and could not think realistically.
Good posture helped
His good attitude during the trial and the Kastner report saved the stabbing man from a life behind bars, that is, the implementation of the measures. He was doing much better and was “only” sentenced to placement in a residential care center, with the requirements of regular medication and medical supervision. This milder measure is permanent and is assessed by the court once a year. The judgment is final.
Sacrifice is not ‘happy’ at all
The victim is understandably not very happy. The 43-year-old was hospitalized for weeks, lost his job, is in debt due to lack of income – and has little chance of ever receiving compensation, his lawyer Daniel Strauss explains.
