Von Kl Redaktion

Aachen (dpa) - A shocking incident in a Aachen hospital that caused millions in March is currently being negotiated in court. The accused, a 66-year-old woman, has now released details about her acts committed a few months ago. In the Aachen District Court, she reported on her weeks of preparation and the motives for the alleged arson.

The process that revolves around attempted murder and serious arson took a dramatic turn on the first day of the trial. The defendant confessed to making a dummy of an explosive vest. Their goal was to be perceived as a terrorist and to put the police into a Situation in this regard. "It was about being assessed as a terrorist," said the 66-year-old, who was seen in a wheelchair during the trial. This fact raises questions about your physical condition and your psychological stability.

mental health and possible punishment

A central aspect of the procedure is the question of women's guiltability. It is currently in a psychiatric facility, which indicates that serious concerns exist with regard to their mental health. Should the court come to the conclusion that she is guilty, this could bring her in for several years.

The fire that was laid in the hospital caused immense property damage of at least 25 million euros. Fortunately, there were no personal injury, but the large -scale deployment of the police and fire brigade shows how serious the situation was. The destruction caused by the fire affected numerous departments within the 350-bed hospital.

history and drug use

The accused exposed that she has been consuming cannabis regularly since she was 14 years old. Also on the dangerous day, she smoked intoxication to prepare for the attack. Her addiction to synthetic drugs, such as amphetamine, also became clear when she admitted to having used it to "hold out".

Another aspect of the negotiation is a possible motivation for your deeds. According to her statement, she had a resentment against doctors and addressed a serious incident from her past, which took place 30 years ago in the hospital, where she was said to have been treated and supposedly raped. Nevertheless, the defendant was uncertain about the correctness of her memories in the trial. A contradiction that questions the credibility and the psychological state of the accused.

Before she set the hospital on fire, the woman had already set up her own apartment. A neighbor had become aware of the smoke and immediately informed the fire brigade and police. This shows that the alleged arsonist apparently passed her deeds with full consciousness and a certain calculation.

The life story of this woman is as tragic as it is confused. She started her career as a show dancer and performed in different countries, including well -known varieties and even in the famous Moulin Rouge. Nevertheless, she seems to have slipped into a profound personal crisis in the years in isolation and without employment, which may have influenced her ultimate actions.

The negotiation will certainly raise many more questions, not only to the guilt and responsibility of the accused, but also to the deeper psychological challenges that it brings with it. Her behavior in the courtroom, in which she told about the supposed weapon and the explosive belt, which she had only used for staging purposes, leaves a lasting impression for everyone present. "Somehow I had to let the police come," she summed up her thoughts about the situation almost indifferently. A shocking light light on the fragile boundaries between reality and delusions.
