The 27-year-old announced that he had met a “witch” on his escape in Serbia at the assessment that he allegedly wanted to harm him by depending him from his religion.

This conviction motivated him to buy a knife and kill the women. Hofmann described the crime as a "killing spree" in which the focus was on killing several people within a very short time.This case not only has legal, but also deeper psychological dimensions that illuminate the complex problems of mental illnesses and their social effects.
