Krems court: Afghan man charged with brutal belt attack!
A brutal incident has shocked residents at the main square in Horn, Lower Austria! A 25-year-old Afghan asylum seeker is on trial in Krems today after he is said to have attacked three people at the end of June. Particularly shocking is the report about a 16-year-old teenager, whom the attacker said was the victim of his rage. During the scuffle, the teenager was hit in the head with a spike from a belt buckle - an incredible 2.5 centimeters deep! Express reported that the boy then had to undergo emergency surgery.
What caused the asylum seeker to become so violent? Eyewitnesses described that it all started because of a little thing. Apparently the young people wanted to dispose of a bag lying around that actually belonged to the man. The supposed triviality ended in a fiasco that shook the city. In addition to the almost fatally injured teenager, a 53-year-old suffered a broken collarbone and sustained injuries to his ear. Another 16-year-old victim suffered abrasions.
Allegations of sexual harassment
This dramatic incident was not the only one that the asylum seeker is accused of. A week earlier, he is said to have molested two girls aged 14 and 15 at the city lake and secretly took photos of them. The series of allegations cast a frightening picture of the man's past weeks.
An explosive character
But the trouble doesn't stop there: Shortly afterwards, things escalated in the Krems prison. During a planned search, the accused is said to have hit and kicked wildly. Today reported that he also bit in the process, showing the man's alarming unpredictability.
Mental disorders as a cause?
The unrest surrounding the case is heightened by the report on the defendant's mental health. The Krems regional court is planning to place him in a forensic therapeutic center due to his diagnosed mental disorder. According to the experts, the man shows serious narcissistic, antisocial and emotionally unstable traits that could make him a danger to those around him.
This shocking case is a wake-up call for many residents and raises renewed questions about safety and mental health care. There is still a presumption of innocence, but public attention to the trial is growing. It remains to be seen whether the defendant will have to answer for the crime or whether he will receive psychological support. This drama will undoubtedly haunt the city for a long time.
