Drug rush ends tragically: 21-year-old confesses murder of girlfriend

Drug rush ends tragically: 21-year-old confesses murder of girlfriend
In a shattering case, a 21-year-old was sentenced to a long prison sentence after killing his 47-year-old girlfriend in a drug rush. Tourists informed the police about a loud argument, and the accused was observed how to hit the woman to the ground and drag into the apartment. The incident occurred, while both were in an Airbnb apartment in the green Prater that the woman rented on February 18. According to the accused, the meeting served the consumption of drugs and the exchange of sexual services. Medicines, amphetamine and cocaine were found in the blood, which indicates serious drug abuse.
The 21-year-old, who was guilty and repeatedly commented: "Now she is dead, I am a murderer", suffers from a serious personality disorder. He has been struggling with psychological problems since childhood, such as self -harm and the pretense of headaches. A borderline personality disorder was diagnosed with him three years ago, which is often accompanied by drug addiction. Such dependencies are considered frequent comorbid disorder in people with this diagnosis and often require specific treatments that can make the therapy of personality disorder difficult.
psychological problems and drug addiction
The accused was in psychiatric institutions several times before the incident and was in need of treatment due to his mental constitution, including a borderline personality disorder. This disorder is often associated with emotional instability and a strongly reduced impulse control, which can cause those affected to become over -reactivated in emotional crises or show addicted behavior. Drug dependency is often set up as an escape mechanism to deal with internal conflicts or depressed moods. Experts estimate that 21-67% of people with borderline personality disorder are affected by substance abuse, which further reinforces the difficulties in treatment.
On the day of the crime, the accused received exit from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and met with the victim he had met in 2022. Already during the meeting, the 21-year-old stated that he got into a “blackout” and only remembered fragmentary details of the dispute, which led to fatal violence. He expressed that there was no drifty reason for the crime and ended up in a forensic-therapeutic center after the crime, where he continues to suffer from serious psychological problems.
seriousness of the crime and legal consequences
The judgment in this devastating case has not yet been final, but social and psychological implications are unmistakable. The case raises important questions about the responsibility and dealing with people who suffer from serious mental illnesses, especially in connection with drug abuse. The discrepancy between individual responsibility and the treating society remains a complex and worthwhile topic, especially in view of the high suicide rates among affected people with borderline personality disorder and their frequent self-harm.
society is challenged to help this often stigmatized and misunderstood group of people, while at the same time the requirements for the judiciary and the health system are increasing. The 21-year-old's case is a tragic memory of how closely mental health is interwoven with social and legal questions.
