In the summer of 2023, a then 16-year-old in Vienna went on a ‘manhunt’ again and again. His victims: homeless people. Two men were killed and one woman was seriously injured. A forensic psychiatrist has now examined the boy, her diagnosis and how it came about that the young person wanted to do nothing but kill.
He spends most of the day lying quietly in bed with his eyes closed. He acts calmly when he walks in the prison grounds. He generally doesn’t talk much to other prisoners. And when guards enter his cell, he politely greets them and politely asks how they are doing.
Thomas A. (name changed) is therefore considered a model prisoner in Josefstadt prison. That’s not surprising. After all, the boy is trained to hide his dark sides, the evil within him, from the outside world.
The evil in him…
“I wanted to express my anger.”
In July and August 2023, the now 17-year-old – at just 16 years old – killed two men and seriously injured a woman in Vienna; he stabbed them with a switchblade knife “until I thought they weren’t alive anymore,” he later said during interrogations.
