Application of the indictment: Aschaffenburg attacker should permanently in psychiatry

According to the public prosecutor’s office, the knife stitcher of Aschaffenburg should be permanently accommodated in a psychiatry. The application for a corresponding security procedure was submitted to the Aschaffenburg Regional Court, a spokeswoman for the public prosecutor said. So far, the man has been temporarily housed in a psychiatric hospital.

The Afghan is said to have killed a 2-year-old boy and a 41-year-old with a knife in a park in Aschaffenburg on January 22nd. Three people were seriously injured. The investigators had quickly found indications of a possible mental illness of the man – including corresponding medication in his living rooms.

A psychiatric expert attested a mental illness to the accused. The man may have been unable to guilt in the attack in the Park Schöntal near Aschaffenburg downtown. Investigators did not find any evidence of radicalization of the man “or Islamist, extremist or terrorist background”.

According to the public prosecutor, the appraiser also assumes “that the suspect’s psychiatric illness is not only temporary and that if it cannot be traced permanently, further, highly aggressive acts are to be expected with a very high probability.” The authority did not say which disease the refugee has specifically.

A security procedure deals with unlimited accommodation in a closed department of a psychiatric hospital. Even if there is no indictment as in normal criminal proceedings, such a case is negotiated in court.

Now the district court has to decide on the opening of the safety process in front of a jury.

Suspect several times in psychiatry

The Afghan, who is obliged to leave, was known to the police before several offenses and temporarily in psychiatry several times.

According to previous findings, the 28-year-old had targeted a kindergarten group on the day of the crime. The accused is said to have first dealt with the two -year -old young Moroccan origin sitting in a handcart. According to the investigation, the man pulled off the child and scarf and stabbed the boy several times with a kitchen knife 32 centimeters long with a 32 centimeter long kitchen knife. The child died.

Afterwards, the refugee is said to have attacked a two -year Syrian girl with the knife at the time, which was also sitting in the handcart. A 59 -year -old, German teacher of the daycare center tried to keep the man from the crime and stood in his way. However, it was pushed aside by him and broke a hand.

The uninvolved 41-year-old German, who was currently traveling in the park with his own two-year-old child, was still trying to help the victims. He was fatally injured by the knife. Another helper, a 72-year-old German at the time, survived despite several knife stabs. The alleged perpetrator was arrested shortly after the attack.

Earlier knife incident could also come to court

The public prosecutor also wants to have an earlier incident negotiated in court who had made headlines after attacking the children in the park. As early as the attack, the accused is said to have threatened and injured a roommate with a meat knife in an asylum seeker accommodation.

Because the case did not investigate an investigation, the public prosecutor later investigated the police officers involved in the deployment of suspected punishment. A result of the investigation was initially pending.
