Angelika spoke little, had no friends, considered herself ugly and was desperately unhappy. She killed her mother when she was 14: “Because she never hugged me.” This shows a photo of a daughter who was not only a perpetrator, but also a victim of mental and physical violence.
It is Tuesday, April 10, 2010. The day Angelika will kill her mother. A day that starts off ‘completely normal’, like so many other days before in the 14-year-old’s life.
“Actually, everything was as usual at first,” the student later said in police interrogations. What she meant, child and adolescent psychiatrist Werner Gerstl wrote months later in a report, was that she had long since become accustomed to her oppressive home situation and her loneliness.
As always, Angelika wakes up early, at 5:30 a.m., crawls out of the bunk bed she shares with her brother, who is two years younger than her, and who is in her parents’ bedroom – and goes into the second room of the small old building apartment Vienna-Margareten; She sits down on the couch, turns on the television, her mother finds it disturbing and scolds her for it. As usual.
