Incredible scenes took place on January 19 in a beautiful single-family house in Oberberg am Inn (Upper Austria). The 22-year-old son is said to have murdered his father (59) – with numerous stab wounds. The crime was repeated on Tuesday. The lawyer requested a local inspection.
A cold wind blew from the inn. Almost exactly eleven months after the terrible bloody act in Obernberg am Inn, the suspect (22) was back at the crime scene, his parents’ house, for the first time on Tuesday. The man, who has already been convicted several times, is accused of the murder of his father (59). After being stabbed at least seven times, he fled to a neighbor and then bled to death on the way to the hospital.
Jurors need to get an idea
Although a 3D rendering of the house had even been created, lawyer Andreas Mauhart insisted on a local inspection. “So the jury can get an idea,” said the lawyer. An image of the narrowness of the house and the sound of the two shots the father allegedly fired in the direction of his son. Mauhart, who represents the 22-year-old pro bono, i.e. free of charge, has also had a report drawn up about this, because: “The indictment only mentions warning shots in the air, which cannot be the case,” according to the lawyer.
Lawyer argues for self-defense
“We still want an acquittal. It could be one of those rare cases where self-defense is presumed in a murder. If my client had no facial tattoos and no criminal record, this case would never have happened. After all, it looks like his father wanted to shoot him.”
Neither expert Adelheid Kastner nor prosecutor Alois Ebner are allowed to speak about the ongoing proceedings. But as for what happens next: “At the next appointment there will be reports on the firearm, the psychological-psychiatric report and the forensic report on the stab wounds,” says Ebner. This should be continued in the spring.
