A 24-year-old Tyrolean is said to have brutally attacked his brother and his own mother during a violent family dispute. A knife is said to have been involved. In the end, the man was acquitted.
Difficult scenes apparently played out at the end of May within a family in Kufstein! A man (24) who has been convicted several times, is said to have punched his own brother in the face with his fist and forced him with a knife to hand over a measly 100 euros. He then probably hit his mother in the face with the palm of his hand.
Brother and mother did not testify
The visible and proven consequences: the mother was bleeding from her upper lip, the brother made a very disturbed impression, according to the alarmed police officers. However, the defendant at the regional court in Innsbruck did not want to comment on the allegations against him and the affected relatives also exercised their right and ultimately refused to testify.
Judge Michael Böhler therefore only left a legally binding “acquittal in case of doubt”. “Due to the abstentions of the witnesses, there is simply not enough evidence”, he said in his verdict. “However, I think that there was undoubtedly a quarrel within the family circle”, he added. He combined this statement with an urgent warning to the defendant: “You have to get a grip, otherwise you will be in prison for three years next time.”
“Without alcohol and drugs he is the nicest person”
The prosecutor and the man’s lawyer had also spoken to his conscience beforehand. “Stay away from alcohol and drugs in the future,” said the prosecutor, and the lawyer emphasized that this consumption was “a real problem” for his client and may have incited the alleged crime: “I was told that he was the one who The nicest person is when he hasn’t consumed anything.”
