The stabbing star from Würzburg has to go to a psychiatric ward for an indefinite period, the court of the Bavarian city announced on Thursday. The mentally ill man attacked people indiscriminately with a kitchen knife on June 25, 2021. Three women died and nine others were injured.
According to an expert report, the refugee from Somalia is paranoid schizophrenic and delusional. The Würzburg court therefore sentenced him not to imprisonment, but to a stay in a psychiatric ward. This decision is also final, as neither the Munich Public Prosecutor’s Office nor the accused have appealed the decision at the end of July.
Stopped with a shot in the leg
As reported, on June 25, 2021, the 24-year-old man randomly stabbed passers-by with a kitchen knife in the center of Würzburg. Three women died and nine others were injured. Before the police stopped the attacker with a shot in the leg, passers-by restrained him. The background was initially unclear, so that an Islamic background was initially suspected.
The investigation then revealed that the Somali was already known to the authorities as violent and had been admitted to a psychiatric clinic for a long time.
