“I have two children aged six and eight,” says the first accused Afghan, who is also surprised by his previous profession: “I was a police officer,” he says. Like the second defendant, he pleads “guilty” to the shocking allegations about the crime on June 18, 2024 in the “Aqua Splash” outdoor swimming pool in Traiskirchen (Lower Austria). That day he was drunk for the first time in his life. “I swear I didn’t do that on purpose. I know I made a mistake. I have children of my own and I regret that very much.” He can no longer remember the incident because he was drunk.
