In the Vienna Great Jury Richtaal, on November 25, 2024, a sensational negotiation begins that revolves around a tragic murder case. On February 23, 2024, three prostitutes were brutally killed with a knife in an Asiastudio in Vienna-Brigittenau. The main accused, a 27-year-old Afghan, is on trial for murder, but he is denied guilty due to his mental state.

In the act, the man suffered from a pronounced paranoid schizophrenia. This means that his judgment and its ability to distinguish between right and wrong were severely restricted at the time of the murders. The public prosecutor has therefore applied for the accusation to be instructed in a forensic-therapeutic center instead of a conviction. This decision is based on the assessment of a psychiatric expert who classifies the man as highly dangerous.

The bizarre encounter with the witch

The circumstances that led to this cruel act are as shocking as it is bizarre. The 27-year-old stated that he came across a European witch during his escape in Serbia. According to his statement, it was a satanist who wanted to tempt him to give up his religion, Islam. The witch did not come to Austria, but he convinced that it could also influence him from afar. This idea led to his conviction that the murdered women worked with the witch.

The man finally bought a knife with the firm decision to kill the women that he thought was part of this supernatural complotting. This information was known according to www.5min.at during his assessment. The negotiation promises to offer a deep insight into the psychological abyss of the defendant and to show the boundaries between reality and delusion.

The tragedy about the murdered prostitutes not only has legal but also social dimensions and raises questions about the safety of sex workers. While the trial begins, the public remains excited to see how the evidence is presented and the arguments of the defense and charges are interpreted.

The coming hour will be crucial to illuminate the background of these terrible events and to give answers to the pressing questions of the parties and the public.
