Eitor: Man is said to have stabbed his victim in bed

On October 8th there was a serious incident in a refugee home in Eitorf. A 39-year-old resident was attacked by a 28-year-old Zimmerachbarn in sleep. This stood next to the victim's bed with a knife and stabbed him at least four times. The first attack hit the right shoulder of the sleeping person, who had just risen. While two other attacks on his belly he could ward off, he suffered an injury to the right thigh at the fourth stitch. The victim managed to pour away the attacker and flee through the window outdoors, but suffered serious stab and cut injuries as well as a rib bruise.

Legal steps and psychiatric assessment

The public prosecutor has now charged the 28-year-old Afghan. He is accused of attempted homicide and dangerous bodily harm. In an application, however, the public prosecutor points out that the attacker may not be guilty. It is therefore recommended to assign him to a psychiatric institution; This decision ultimately lies with the court. The accused is currently in a clinic of the Rhineland Landscape Association in Essen, where he feels good and expressed his thanks to the treating doctors.

background of the mental illness

The attacker who worked as a tailor and taxi driver in Afghanistan has been showing signs of mental illness since 2019. His problems occurred when he was on the Greek island of Crete, where he suffered from hallucinations and a feeling of tightness. As a result, he received hospital treatment twice, but after entering Germany in 2022, his condition deteriorated again. Despite medical treatment in Bonn, after his release, he dropped the prescribed medication, which he later referred to as a mistake.

The upcoming legal proceedings

In the course of the process, a psychiatric expert will also be heard in order to better evaluate the psychological constitution of the accused. The presiding judge, Michael Nehring, found that the defendant was involved in a dispute with another resident before the attack, who was possibly regarded as a provocation. The entire process is scheduled until June 4th and is being pursued with tension.
