Krems: Brutal belt attack in court – Afghan accused!
An ordinary day in Horn, Lower Austria, takes a dramatic turn in late June when a brutal confrontation rocks the town. A 25-year-old Afghan asylum seeker is at the center of the incident and now has to answer in court in Krems. The serious allegations: The defendant is said to have critically injured a 16-year-old teenager with a belt after a heated verbal argument. During the argument, the thorn from the belt buckle is said to have penetrated 2.5 centimeters deep into the teenager's head. How Today According to reports, the seriously injured man had to be immediately taken by emergency helicopter to the University Hospital in St. Pölten and undergone an emergency operation there.
But that was just the beginning of the gruesome scenes: two other people, including another 16-year-old and a 53-year-old, were also victims of the violent attack. The man suffered a broken collarbone and needed an ear stitched, while the second teenager suffered abrasions. The initial trigger for this relentless attack? According to a witness report on Facebook, the argument was simply about a sack that the young people wanted to pick up from the ground - it apparently still contained the Afghan's food.
A dark chapter
The incident leaves scars - and not just of a physical nature. A week earlier, the suspect is said to have sexually harassed two girls aged 14 and 15 at the city lake in Horn exxpress.at citing “heute.at” reported. But even behind bars, the man doesn't stop causing a stir. On July 8th, he violently resisted an upcoming search in his detention room, where he kicked, bit and hit the officers.
These events shed a frightening light on the attacker's psychological state, which is why the Krems regional court is now requesting that he be placed in a forensic therapeutic center. What makes people capable of such violence tick? The Afghan is diagnosed with a complex personality disorder characterized by strong narcissistic, antisocial and emotionally unstable traits. While the trial is ongoing, the presumption of innocence applies, but public trust is shaken. The outcome of the trial in Krems is eagerly awaited - because the continued integrity of many people's coexistence may depend on such judgments.
