Salme in Ulm: Ex-soldier condemned with serious psychological problems!

In a dramatic turn of the events, two men were convicted in Austria on September 19, 2024 and in Ulm in January 2025 for hostage frames that give shocking insights into their motives and Psyisches. The first case concerned a 37-year-old man who entered the AMS building with three kitchen knives and handcuffs. With threatening demands, and the accusation that he did not want to be violated, he held an employee hostage and demanded a negotiation group. According to the public prosecutor, his motive was shaped by the fear of delogation and the loss of his existence. The indictment is on extortionate kidnapping, for which he blooms a prison sentence of up to 20 years, while at the same time it was classified as mentally dangerous, since he has a personality disorder, as was determined in a psychiatric examination. The defense apologizes for the crime and reconciliation with the AMS, which the accused himself sees as a "serious mistake". His remorse and the assurance for responsible behavior are at the center of his defense and can influence his sentence, as reported by the Zeitung .

Ulm: The detention and psychiatry for a former soldier

The second case occurred at the end of January 2025 when a 44-year-old former Bundeswehr soldier used arms on the Ulm Münsterplatz to take twelve people as hostages. The accused, an Afghanistan veteran, was sentenced to six years in prison and the permanent accommodation in a psychiatric clinic, as by SWR is reported. This decision was made by the Ulm District Court in the knowledge of its post -traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and past attempts at suicide, which were related to its military operations. While he initially uncovered five hostages, his goal was apparently to die from the police. The court decided that his time in psychiatry could possibly be longer than the prescribed prison sentence, which emphasizes the severity of his mental problems.
