In March this year, he is said to have stabbed a fellow resident with a knife in an asylum accommodation. He said his motive was that the other man wanted to rape him. His opponent spoke of an argument in which a knife suddenly became involved. The accused will be admitted to a forensic therapy center.
What is certain is that there was a power outage in the asylum accommodation on March 8th this year. It is also certain that a 20-year-old Afghan suffered stab and cut wounds in an altercation with a fellow countryman. There are also two different versions of the story.
Stabbed in the head, neck and back
According to the prosecutor, the accused had become upset because the victim had interfered in a conversation with the home manager about the power outage. The two men began to tussle, then the 18-year-old fell to the ground. He ran into his room and the older man followed him. They continued to fight, and then the accused suddenly had a knife in his hand and stabbed his opponent in the head, neck and back. The 20-year-old did not suffer life-threatening injuries, but was covered in blood.
The defendant’s version is different: “He wanted to rape me, I was only defending myself,” he said in court. The other man is said to have “strangely attacked” him days before. According to his account, the 20-year-old came into his room “and wanted to hit me.” He claims to have only hit him with a broken knife. “Then how do you explain the stab wounds?” asked the judge. “I don’t know,” answered the respondent, adding: “Perhaps he hurt himself with the box.”
Severe personality disorder
The victim asked that the accused be taken out of the courtroom before questioning and the Senate agreed. He said that the 18-year-old walked past him after the crime and said: “I know what I’m going to do to you. If you’re asleep, I’m going to stab you.”
The psychiatric expert Manfred Walzl confirmed that the accused had a serious personality disorder. The Afghan had a “low inhibition threshold”, was “highly aggressive” and was egocentric. Without treatment, there was a high probability that he would commit dangerous acts again.
The jury unanimously found that it was attempted murder. The Afghan was sentenced to twelve years in prison and sent to a forensic therapy center. The verdict is not final.
