Cook Larissa Caviezel († 27) was on her way to work with her scooter when Luca M. * (44) ended her life with his Audi. The IV pensioner caught the young woman in an insane overtaking maneuver at Domat / Ems GR in 2017. She was thrown 43 meters across the street and died instantly. On Tuesday, the case will be tried for the second time in court.
Dead driver Luca M. was sentenced in the first instance to a prison sentence of six years for the accident (Blick reported). Because of killing with contingent intent, qualified gross violation of traffic rules and driving in an incapable of driving. But he does not want to accept this punishment. That is why an appeal hearing will take place on Tuesday at the Cantonal Court of Graubünden.
“Even today there is still a huge gap in our family”
It is particularly difficult for the family of the deceased Larissa to go to the judge again. Sister Michaela Schloz Caviezel (33) to Blick: «Larissa was such a warm person, the focus of the family. She was just torn from life like that. “
For the family, the six-year prison sentence was acceptable from the first instance, said the sister. «One cannot speak of justice. Nothing can replace Larissa for us. “
The fact is: The defendant’s driving style before the accident was completely inconsiderate. The Italian left at 5:30 a.m. to warm up the car for his wife. At this point he was stoned and the THC level in his blood was three times the limit.
Overtaking maneuvers at 115 km / h with a visibility of 50 meters
The defendant later explained his driving style to the police. He was close.
Before the crash, visibility on the main road between Chur and Domat / Ems was only 50 meters. And although two vehicles were driving in front of him, M. started to overtake, accelerating to up to 115 km / h.
What he didn’t want to see: Caviezel came right towards him on the opposite lane with her scooter. The Audi Q5 caught the scooter head-on.
The dead driver put the blame for the crash on the deceased at the scene of the accident. A first aider described M.’s behavior at the scene of the accident to Blick: “He said she drove without a light. That’s wrong, it was switched on. ” The forensic report also later confirmed: The young woman drove completely correctly.
Repentance was something that Larissa’s family of Luca M. has not seen to this day: “He still takes no responsibility for what he did,” said Sister Michaela.
“I am not a monster”
The family’s wish is clear: “We want him to finally be locked away!” Luca M. is still at large, living in the region. “Fortunately we’ve never met him before, everything would come up again.” The perpetrator has been able to live on until now as if nothing had happened. “But there will always be a void in our family.”
Before the first trial, Luca M. said to Blick: “I’m not a monster. I am very sorry for the relatives. “
