Swiss knife: From kitchen assistant to a fatal weapon in Jestetten!

An invisible mischief revealed itself in Jestetten 30 years ago! On July 10, a 69-year-old doctor was brutally attacked with a Swiss pocket knife during his consultation. The 35-year-old patient, already mentally struck and without taking his medication, stabbed the chest and upper arm of the doctor with the knife while he then fled out of practice. A stab was so deep that he almost reached the heart of the doctor! The seriously injured doctor was immediately flown to the Zurich University Hospital.

The police quickly found that the perpetrator acted in a manic-psychotic state and has been in psychiatric treatment several times. As a consequence, he was mandatory into the closed department of Psychiatry Reichenau. Fortunately, the doctor quickly recovered from his injuries, apart from the life -threatening wound, which, however, was remembered 30 years ago as a stroke of fate in the small community.
