The housing application for the triple murder in the Asiastudio on Vienna’s Engerthstraße brings deeply shocking details to light. Accordingly, the 27-year-old Afghan used massive violence against the women. He was not healthy during the horrific rampage.
According to forensic expert Peter Hofmann, the man acted in the terrible act of February 23 under the “considerable influence of his mental disorder”, namely paranoid schizophrenia.
Apparently he pretended to be a customer at the brothel that evening. At the entrance he took off his shoes and was taken by the operator to room number 3 on the first floor.
Entering the massage studio with three knives
There he waited for his first victim, the prostitute Y. The man had three knives with him. When Y. entered the room, the 27-year-old immediately stabbed the woman 16 times with a knife, two of which resulted in flat tires.
The schizophrenic perpetrator stabbed the second victim, prostitute K., twenty times with a knife and also tried to cut the Chinese woman’s throat. According to the StA, the deep cut resulted in the poor woman being “almost decapitated”.
“Extremely rude and aggressive”
The third victim, telephone operator Z., was overpowered by the attacker in the bathroom. She had fled there after hearing the screams of the first two victims. Z. was attacked 60 times with knives. “It can undoubtedly be concluded from this that the person concerned was particularly brutal and aggressive during the murders, so that two knife blades broke off completely from the handle and the tip of one knife broke off,” writes the Vienna StA in its 15-page application for detention.
After the three crimes, the man ransacked the studio, searching the ground floor and basement for further potential victims whom he, in his madness, believed to be witches.
A fourth woman remained undiscovered
A witness who was in room 5 with a client was lucky. She went unnoticed. The Afghan put on his shoes and left the brothel, but was eventually found by police covered in blood on a dike and arrested. He was sober at the time of the crime and had not used drugs, according to the report.
It is still unclear when the jury will decide on the institutionalization of the client of lawyer Philipp Springer.
