Court process in Ried: Son kills father in a dispute - murder position is in the room

Von WOM

In Ried im Innkreis, a 22-year-old man is on trial who is accused of having killed his father with nine knife stings. The incidents occurred on January 19 during a heated dispute when the son and his drunk father got into a violent conflict. The older man, 59 years old, is said to have reacted to the examination of shots from a rifle, which continued to escalate the Situation.

The public prosecutor sees the son's son as a perpetrator, who has to be responsible for his horrific act, which is supposed to lead to a murder. According to a psychiatric report, the accused is currently unable to control his behavior. Therefore, in addition to a possible prison sentence, the public prosecutor also calls for the accommodation of the 22-year-old to a forensic-therapeutic center.

Details on the argument

The dispute between the son and the father was triggered by the accused's drug use. On this fateful day, he was so strong under the influence of drugs that he could not go to work. The dispute led to the son of his father to have driven. The 59-year-old then took a rifle and shot wildly. In the final argument, the son then grabbed a knife and added fatal injuries to his father.

If the accused is found guilty, he must expect a prison sentence of ten to 20 years or even lifelong imprisonment. This measure is not only intended as a punishment, but also as a warning signal for others who could get into similar violent situations. It remains to be seen how the court reacts to the arguments put forward and what punishment is ultimately imposed, www.sn.at .
