The defendant, who is now 17 years old, remains silent on Monday. “Guilty,” he says in the grand jury room of the Vienna Regional Criminal Court. That is all for now.
Guilty of having nearly killed his ex-girlfriend in Vienna on February 27. Later 50 stab wounds were counted. The perpetrator also stabbed the 16-year-old in the eye, since then she has been blind in her right eye. The adolescent continues to lose brain fluid.
Red knife, you’re dead
The defendant is silent on how this happened. He was only 16 at the time of the crime. But something can be learned from the messages he had previously written to the girl. “Knife Red, you’re dead,” he wrote to his ex-girlfriend. He threatened to rape and stab her.
The nondenominational girl and the accused young man, a Muslim with Turkish roots, had previously been in a violent relationship. The boy wanted to tell his girlfriend how to dress. When she didn’t reply to his messages often enough, she was enraged. And that she wasn’t jealous, she saw it as a devaluation. “When a woman loves, she is jealous,” he told her.
The girl had broken up with him shortly before after being in the hospital for three days after being kicked in the face. The 16-year-old denounced him. Then the situation escalated.
Not a word to the police
According to the prosecution, the boy stopped the girl in front of his apartment to “confront her.” He took out the knife. It is said that he stabbed the girl over and over again. Before leaving, he said, “Not a word to the police!” Then he left the friend badly injured and bleeding badly.
In fact, the girl still managed to alert the rescue herself. “The girl only survived because the rescue chain worked so fast,” explains expert Wolfgang Denk.
The defendant shows no emotion in any of this. Psychiatric expert Gabriele Wörgötter took notice, too. “He saw his girlfriend as an object that you have to destroy when you can no longer have it.” He only accepts two instances: His Father and God. “He grew up in an environment where there is a strong orientation towards family structures and religion.”
Behind the facade
Outwardly, the adolescent seems to go unnoticed. “But there is a lot of notoriety behind the facade.” And he sees a difficult future prognosis: “The probability that he will commit similar crimes in the future is high. Especially in constellations of relationships.”
Defense attorney Rudolf Mayer refers to severe developmental personality disorder. “What he did is of course unforgivable.” The young man acted out of “extreme jealousy and fear of abandonment.” Finally, the boy found some words: “I am very sorry, I wish you a speedy recovery.”
Verdict: 10 years in prison plus detention in an institution for mentally abnormal lawbreakers; Not definitive.
In addition, the young man agrees to pay his victim 166,500 euros in compensation for pain and damages.
