The investigation into the knife attack on Monday morning is ongoing: The public prosecutor’s office now wants to have the suspect examined psychologically. The reason is his confusing statements during the interrogation.
The “Krone” reported on the knife attack on Monday morning on Fadingerstrasse in the Parsch district of Salzburg: A 35-year-old stabbed his landlord (61) while handing over an apartment. Because he obviously didn’t want to leave the apartment. A real estate agent was an eyewitness and immediately raised the alarm. The 35-year-old confessed to the crime. The suspect was arrested minutes after the crime with a bloody kitchen knife in his hand – because a patrol happened to be nearby. According to “Krone” information, the investigators now doubt the man’s sanity. The reason for this was apparently his confusing statements in the first interrogation. As is well known, he has already confessed to the crime itself. In any case, the public prosecutor’s office wants to check the man’s mental state and therefore commissions an expert to carry out a report. On Wednesday, the regional court will also decide whether to impose pre-trial detention. In addition, new details about the knife attack are now known: The 35-year-old is believed to have stabbed the victim seven times in the chest with a kitchen knife. The rescue took the seriously injured man to the hospital. By the way: The suspect is unlikely to have attracted any criminal attention so far.
