Brutal murder process: jealousy and madness as a sad background

In a shocking murder case in Vienna, a 40-year-old man is on trial who is accused of brutally murdering his 49-year-old friend. The public prosecutor described that the accused in a attack of unfounded jealousy, whom he met in 2022 through the Tinder dating platform, hit fists, stepped against furniture and finally choked for several minutes until she was dead. "I threw it through the whole apartment," the accused told the investigators. In court he confessed: "I confessed to myself fully" and admitted that his psychological problems and fear of loss led to the crime, which he described as "martyrdom", which had to suffer his partner, as krone.at reported.

jealousy and psychological problems

The relationship had initially worked harmoniously, but the accused suffered from massive jealousy. On the witness stand, he explained that his partner had assured him to love him, but he was still plagued by fears. This jealousy was headed by when he started to take care of female subjects, and shortly before the crime, there was several internet research on this topic, such as the magazine 5min.at reported. At no time on the morning of the crime there was an obvious dispute between the couple, which makes the deed all the more incomprehensible.

The indictment also accuses the accused of having choked his partner with his right arm in a state of greatest helplessness, which ultimately led to her death. "The compression of the soft soft tissues led to a break in the bone of the tongue and a deadly oxygen undersupply," said a court expert. In the process, it also becomes clear that the man is not only responsible for his deed, but also for the tragic fate of the two daughters of the victim, who is now without her mother. The bereaved demand 25,000 euros in pain and suffering, which, according to the judge, cannot be “underweight”.
