Brutal belt attack in Horn: Afghan in court in Krems!

The dramatic incident occurred at the main square of Horn when the Afghan started after a heated verbal argument on three people. The most shocking moment was when he hit the head of a 16-year-old adolescent with the thorn of his belt buckle. The thorn penetrated terrifying 2.5 centimeters into the skull of the young victim. In critical condition, the boy had to be brought to the University Hospital St. Pölten as soon as possible by means of a emergency helicopter. The affected parents and friends could only keep their fingers crossed while the surgeons fought for their life.

A look at the background

While an oral argument often ends harmlessly, it became a real tragedy that demanded further injuries. For example, a 53-year-old man suffered a broken collarbone and an ear injury, while another 16-year-old victim came away with abrasions. According to eyewitnesses, the entire incident could have been triggered by a misunderstanding about a sack that had disappeared on the ground that contained the food of the Afghan.

But that's not all. The supposed perpetrator made headlines a week earlier when he bothered two young girls at the city lake in Horn and secretly photographed. Such acts raise many questions, and the feeling of fainting among the population grows in the face of such crimes.

psychological problems as a possible trigger

The trial day in Krems is not only about the deed itself, but also about the mental constitution of the accused. In the case of the court, the instruction in a forensic-therapeutic center is to be discussed. Because the first reports indicate a serious mental disorder, which is described as a combined personality disorder with narcissistic, dissocial and emotional unstable trains, as "Today.at" reported. The presumption of innocence still applies and the trial promises to be exciting.

In addition to the incidents in Horn, the young Afghan also caused a stir in the Krems prison. On July 8th, during an upcoming search, he started the officials in his detention room by biting and struck. These renewed outbursts increase the pressure on the judiciary to find quick solutions.

The case pulls wide circles, and the population looks forward to the next steps of the judiciary. Sensitivity to such incidents is high and hope for rapid clarification increases. The procedure in Krems once again shows that public security remains one of the greatest challenges of our time.
