20 years in prison for 46-year-olds-Diepresse.com

A 46-year-old was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Monday at the Innsbruck Regional Court for the crime of the murder. The jury saw it as proven that the locals had deliberately killed a 54-year-old acquaintance in his apartment at the end of October 2023 in his apartment in the Tyrolean Fieberbrunn (Kitzbühel district). The verdict was not legally binding for the time being.

Both the public prosecutor and defense initially made no explanation. The perception of the jury was unanimously on murder at eight to zero. The accused, a local entrepreneur, had « not guilty » on the first day of the trial on April 1st, his defender Franz Essl spoke of a « massive struggle » between the men and thus « self -defense » of his client.

His applications for evidence were all rejected on Monday. Such applications by the defense lawyer had led to the adjoining process on the first day of the trial. On Monday, the lawyer finally made further requests for evidence. Much of this referred to a forensic medical report. Prosecutor Hannes Wandl, however, spoke out for the dismissal. « This is a pure appreciation of the evidence from a defender perspective, » said Wandl. Such explanations and appreciations should have been made « before the main hearing ». The defender had located an inadequacy of the report in his applications. For example, it was not sufficiently clarified whether the victim had passed out at the time of the stab. « My client did not use a massive violence, but simply fought back, » Essl argued once again. The latter can also be proven by the type of puncture wound, which shows that the stitch was « in motion » of the victim, which in turn indicate an argument.

Defender spoke of his client’s “fear of death”

At the start of the trial in April, the prosecutor had excluded this scenario exactly. After a common, massive drug use together, after an argument in the accused’s apartment, the victim of the 54-year-old was choked up to the unconsciousness and finally a « fatal sting in the right side of the neck ». The defense lawyer, on the other hand, described the circumstances completely differently: « My client repelled an attack from his alleged victim and was afraid of death ». For example, he had “vehemently fought” with an e-cigarette, which was physically visible in the body. The lawyer described the killed as a « pimp and drug dealer », who stuck with the defendant’s partner in the course of a relationship dispute under a ceiling.

The final plaque and deliberate killing targeted self -defense

On Monday, however, the end of the end relatively quickly came to the end of the end, and evidence procedure was hardly carried out. The Plädoyers mainly referred to the crime and worked on the subject complex of self -defense versus deliberate killing. Unsurprisingly, public prosecutor Wandl did the second: « He murdered him without any doubt. » The forensic medical report had shown that the defendant’s victim did not really resist: « Rather, it was a static event and therefore no self -defense. » On the contrary, the man’s defense lawyer again argued: « My client was spoiled to a certain extent, got no air and finally justified himself. » In any case, there are « legitimate doubts » about the indictment and thus on the killing intent, which is why there must be an acquittal in the murder question.

Defendant: « Didn’t deliberately kill him »

In his final word, the accused himself again asserted his leakiness. « I did not deliberately kill him, I had no motive and no reason at all, » he explained. He criticized his own injuries, which he had contracted in the discussion of his alleged victim, « too late » or not at all, he criticized the forensic medical report: « As is being acted here, is grossly negligent ».

In his survey at the beginning of April, the 46-year-old had reported a violent dispute, which was about relationship things, among other things, and took place under the influence of cocaine and medication. It was no less than life and death. The two -day common « enjoyment of intoxicants » in the Zillertal had preceded this consumption at home, in which one also had « late puberty and had fun. » In the course of the rougan, he then « stabbed somewhere with full force »: « It was a purely intuitive and instinctive act. »

Court psychiatrist attested to

The experts involved in the court also had their say on the first day of the trial: forensic doctor Elke Doberent reported « very strong violence ». The 54-year-old passed away due to a deep puncture injury and his subsequent death. The fact that the defendant choked his victim is also indisputable. Court psychiatrist Adelheid Kastner In any case, attested the defendant « accountability ». There is « absolutely no indication of a profound consciousness disorder or a mental illness. » In addition, the man acted “at lightning speed and directed and was oriented”, which in fact excluded an insanitaryability and a restriction of the accountability.
