Accidentally had the ax with me
While the accused claims to have been “completely intoxicated” at the time of the crime, the judge sees “no state of complete intoxication”. The 38-year-old drove home after the crime, where he was arrested. He had 1.7 per thousand. The alleged murder weapon is a special knife – a cleaver with a 17 centimeter wide blade, which the accused had stuck in his waistband. The man said in court that he just happened to have it with him, that he “actually” wanted to grind it.
