Angry brother covers sister's eyes while driving on B28!
A shocking incident occurred on Sunday evening on the B28 when a 31-year-old covered his 34-year-old sister's eyes and mouth while driving. This happened shortly before the clock struck midnight as the two siblings were on their way to a motorway triangle in Hittistetten. The sister had previously picked up her brother from the police in Neu-Ulm, where there was already a criminal complaint against him for various violent crimes, such as [Augsburger General](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/neu-ulm/neu-ulm-senden-waehrend-fahrt-auf-b28-31-jaehriger-haelt-seiner-ister-augen-und-mund-zu-110397022) reported.
In a moment of anger, the brother prevented his sister from calling the police by covering her eyes and mouth. The desperate driver was finally able to bring the car to a stop on the shoulder. Fortunately, the car was secured by a passing patrol from the Günzburg traffic police, who arrested the brother. The 31-year-old was handed over to the police in Neu-Ulm and then taken to a specialist psychiatric clinic.
Psychiatric treatment and legal consequences
The Clinic for Forensic Psychiatry and Psychotherapy in Günzburg, which works in cooperation with the Ulm University Hospital, will treat this type of patient. The focus here is on mentally ill or addicted offenders to ensure that they do not pose a danger to society. The Bavarian State Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs, Family and Integration has commissioned this clinic to provide treatment, and it works under high standards set by the German Society for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (DGPPN), as Uniklinik Ulm explains.
When it comes to mentally ill people, it should be noted that they are not fundamentally more dangerous than healthy people. However, aggressive behavior can occur, especially in conjunction with drug abuse. These complex circumstances often lead to public misunderstandings about the consequences of crime and the treatment of perpetrators. The disciplinary procedure is often perceived as insufficient punishment, which leads to criticism that patients are “locked away” for an inappropriately long time, as the DGPPN has emphasized in several publications, e.g. in a report on mentally ill offenders.
In the current case, the outcome could depend on various factors, not least the psychiatric assessment of the perpetrator. The fact that such incidents are treated differently in hospitals depending on the seriousness of the crime shows the need for clear legal regulation and effective treatment to prevent future attacks.
