A 45-year-old man who allegedly killed a 16-year-old with an ax in the Sonnwendviertel in Vienna-Favoriten on the night of October 7, 2024, was mentally healthy at the time of the crime. This is evident from a psychiatric report obtained by the public prosecutor.
The expert found no grounds to rule out the guilt of the financial advisor, who is being investigated for murder. The expert considers the act as “very overkill”.
“Complete destruction and annihilation”
The body of the young man from Bulgaria, with whom the 45-year-old is said to have had a sexual relationship, was found in the man’s apartment. The report calls it a “heinous act” and the man was interested in “complete destruction and annihilation”. As the autopsy showed, the victim had suffered more than 50 unusual injuries.
Influence of crystal meth and cocaine
Viennese lawyer Astrid Wagner, who represents the suspect, was not surprised by the results of the psychiatric examination. “I didn’t expect anything else. “He got in the car and then drove to his sister,” she said Tuesday evening. However, your client was under the influence of crystal meth and cocaine and was accordingly disinhibited.
Regarding the alleged motives of the previously blameless man, the lawyer referred to a financial aspect: “He felt exploited and severely humiliated.”
Murder charges
With the expertise now available, the Public Prosecution Service will likely soon file a murder charge with the State Criminal Court. After his arrest, the suspect said: “I can’t believe my darling is dead.”
