There were increasing quarrels in Vienna between a 40-year-old Kosovar and his long-term affair. In October the situation escalated. The victim survived the attack. Lawyer Philipp Winkler does not want to know anything about an attempted murder, given the shallow depth of the leak. How do the judges see this?
“I won’t leave you until I put you underground.” ‘You won’t live to see your birthday. Your brother will put flowers on your grave” – two of the many messages the 40-year-old accused sent to his lover in Vienna. Before he ambushed and stabbed her in Vienna on October 27, 2023.
“He tried to kill her by attacking her twelve times with a broken knife and thirty times with a screwdriver,” the prosecutor said at the opening of the jury trial in Landl.
“I had knives with me to open cans”
“My client pleads not guilty to attempted murder. “He intended to hurt the woman, but did not want to kill her,” replied his lawyer Philipp Winkler. This is evidenced by the shallow penetration depth of the dozens of hits on the back, neck, face, neck and hands. The Kosovar also used a broken knife. “Why did you even have a knife and a screwdriver?” Mrs. Rat wants to know. “I came from the construction site. It often happens to me that I still have tools in my pocket.” – “But a kitchen knife is not a construction site tool?” asks the judge. “I used it to open cans during breaks.”
The motive he gives is that his lover wanted to destroy his family – he and his wife have a little son. “I have a son. He is the most valuable thing in my life. I wouldn’t have wanted to miss that.”
A verdict awaits.
