After the triple murder in a Viennese brothel at the end of February, the report on the suspect is now available. The 27-year-old himself thinks he is “completely healthy”.
According to the report by forensic psychiatrist Peter Hofmann, the 27-year-old suspect should be housed in an institution instead of in prison, as several media reported on Friday. Because the conclusion of the now available report is: not wise. The Afghan suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, which manifests itself through hallucinations and delusions.
The suspect, who had already confessed to the police, visited a brothel on Engerthstrasse (Vienna-Brigittenau) on February 23 and literally murdered three young Asian women with more than 90 stab wounds. A fourth woman managed to hide and was the only one to make it out alive. The 27-year-old was arrested at the scene.
“Great danger” also in the future
In his statements he then spoke of a ‘witch’ who had cursed him and that the prostitutes were under the guise of Satan. The psychotic descriptions led Hofmann to the conclusion that the man would continue to pose a great danger in the future and that further serious acts could be expected from him upon his release. Therefore, placement in a forensic therapeutic center is recommended.
“Since the expert has determined that my client is dangerous, I expect him to be taken into custody in accordance with Article 21(1) of the Criminal Code,” lawyer Springer said, according to media reports.
