Murder system in Vienna: Man because of Paranoid-Schizophrenic disorder in court

In the Vienna district of Brigittenau, a man will be on trial next Monday who will be responsible for a tragic incident in February of this year. The 27-year-old, Afghan, is accused of having killed three sex workers with a knife on February 23 in an Asiastudio. But a central question is: is the man to these terrible deeds actually guilty?

The judicial charges throw a shadow light on the tragic events that took place on that winter night. The psychiatric expert Peter Hofmann, who examined the man, doubts his accountability. According to Hofmann, the defendant suffers from a pronounced paranoid schizophrenia, which is why he was unable at the time of the crime to recognize the injustice of his actions. The public prosecutor has already applied for instruction in a forensic-therapeutic center, which means that the accused could not get into prison, but should instead be transferred to a psychiatric institution. This decision follows the latest developments that indicate the man's serious psychological impairments.

The background of the crime

During the assessment, the 27-year-old reported confusing views of his motivation. He explained that he had met a European witch in Serbia during his escape from Afghanistan. He believes this, he would have tried to dissuade him from his religion and want to get it involved in a satanic indictment. He reported that the witch did not move to Austria with him, but he believed that her influences could continue to reach him via his cell phone. This perception finally led him to the conviction that the sex workers were in a plot with the witch, which was justified after his perception.

experts rate the man as highly dangerous because of his mental disorder. The severity of the allegations and bizarre perception of the reality of the perpetrator not only raise questions about the specific case, but also draw attention to the challenges in dealing with mentally ill perpetrators. This could also lead to an intensive discussion about the legal handling of mentally ill -crowds, especially when it comes to such extreme and violent incidents.

The negotiation will not only shed light on the circumstances of the acts, but also the specific challenges associated with mental illnesses. Experts and the public intently observe how the case is discussed in court and what legal consequences the accused can ultimately expect.
