Years of drama after fatal knife attack in Tyrol: verdict now standing!
On November 6, 2025, the verdict against a 47-year-old Tyrolean entrepreneur for a fatal knife attack was finally confirmed. According to Kleine Zeitung, the defendant's appeal against a payment of 668 euros for funeral costs to the private parties was rejected. The Higher Regional Court (OLG) made it clear in its decision that the nullity appeal of both the defendant and his defense attorney had already been rejected by the Supreme Court (OGH). This means that all legal instances have been exhausted.
The proceedings established that the mitigating factors were sufficiently taken into account in the first instance process. During this, the public prosecutor stated that there was no reason for a sentence to be reduced and that an increase in the sentence could even be considered.
Details of the crime and the circumstances
The death of the 54-year-old victim was the result of a heated argument in which both men, who knew each other, had consumed drugs. The victim wanted to intervene as a mediator in the defendant's relationship crisis with his partner. The fatal attack occurred when the defendant, under the influence of alcohol, cocaine and psychotropic drugs, grabbed a kitchen knife that happened to be handy.
The altercation resulted in serious stab wounds to the victim's neck. The defendant, who pleaded not guilty on the first day of the trial, supported his defense attorney by arguing that the crime was spontaneous and not planned. Nevertheless, the excessive force was considered a serious factor and the 20-year unconditional prison sentence was deemed appropriate. The defendant's clean criminal history also factored into the verdict.
