Court ruling in Graz: 15-year-olds charged with attempted murder

In a worrying case of violence among young people in Graz, a 15-year-old student will be on trial next Thursday. The incident is particularly violent and raises questions about the security of schools and the responsibility of the young people.

The entire incident began on February 1, when a 14-year-old student was brutally injured by several other young people in an abandoned building. It was not only beaten, but also had to be put under pressure with death threats to take off her clothes. The cruel deeds were filmed and shared on social media, which also shocked the public.

the attempt to murder and the indictment

The central figure In this case is the now 15-year-old Bulgarin, who is subsequently charged as a perpetrator in a murder test. According to the prosecutor's indictment, she wanted to avenge one of the young people in June who was involved in the attacks in February. The revenge record culminated in an attempted murder when she moved a stab in the lower back to the other student with a knife. The attack led to a deep and lengthy cutting injury to the opposite side, which only ended with happy circumstances.

The situation has led to an intensive discussion about dealing with violence among young people and the legal consequences of such acts. While the process is approaching, many are wondering how such an escalation point could come about and which steps are necessary to protect young people from violent attacks.
