Murder process shakes Graz: perpetrators are committed, but it remains unclear

A shocking case is concerned with the judiciary in Graz: A 29-year-old Lower Austrian is suspected of having killed his 39-year-old girlfriend with a knife. This happened on April 24 of last year in Graz Wetzelsdorf. But the tragedy took another angry turn when the suspect afterwards specifically raced to oncoming traffic, which led to the death of an uninvolved 31-year-old Grazer. The process that started on Friday was now adjourned to January 26th, as meinbezirk.at reported.

process with shocking details

In the court, the accused was confident for the murder of his girlfriend, but denies that they are intentionally responsible for the fatal traffic accident. He claims to have been distracted by an injury to the wheel. He is charged with two -time murder, which can result in a punishment from up to life imprisonment. The public prosecutor has already submitted an application for accommodation in a forensic-therapeutic center, while the jury must now be on the allegations.

Not only this case raises questions: Another process in Graz also causes horror. A 60-year-old man, already known for his 13 criminal records, is suspected of having cheated naive-looking investors in the field of cryptocurrencies by almost one million euros. As the Lower Austrian reported, the defendant pretended to be wealthy and used costly restaurants and hotels to win the trust of his victims. Ten Styrians were so victims of his machinations, with one even overwriting his car to the fraudster. Due to unexpected circumstances, the process was postponed to February where the investors concerned should have the opportunity to describe their experiences.
