In the process of the attack on a night nurse at a Peitinger care facility, the second geriatric nurse on duty testified.
She saved her colleague's life.
Peiting -
As reported, the madman from Peiting stabbed the night nurse with nail scissors.
The 58-year-old witness described on Tuesday in front of the Munich II regional court how she tore the patient (31) away from her colleague and thus saved her life.
She still looked battered.
She could not forget what had happened in the early morning hours of a day in November 2020.
When she heard screams from the closed ward, she initially believed that the television would be loud again until late at night.
The next scream she connected with a patient who often gave a similar scream.
But the next moment she was restless.
"Then I went down the hall and ran," the 58-year-old recalled.
"He has a knife," shouted residents
When she stormed up the stairs to the closed station, some residents were already there. "He's got a knife," they whispered to her. The nurse ran into the office, where her colleague was lying, unhappily huddled in a corner. "He was over her and stabbed," said the witness. According to her report, the colleague was lying on her back and trying to fend off the stitches with her arms and legs up. “I didn't see what he was holding in his hand. He only stabbed, not drained, when I came in. "
She grabbed him and threw him aside.
Then she pushed it in front of the office door and slammed it shut.
Then she rang the emergency number and helped her colleague to stop the bleeding poorly.
When the ambulance arrived, she threw the key out the window.
She had briefly considered unlocking the front door, but the 31-year-old was still standing in front of the office, staring at her with a terrifying look.
"I have to say I was scared to death," she recalled.
Blood deed in Peiting: Defendant noticed in earlier years
The accused had justified the bloody act at the start of the trial with his wish to end up in prison better than to be in psychiatry.
“He really wanted to get away from us,” confirmed the nurse.
He had escaped from the facility two weeks before the attack.
He drove to Linz and took the train to Passau, where he was finally picked up by the local police.
A previous supervisor of the 31-year-old reported changing conditions.
She suspected drug and alcohol abuse as the trigger for severe paranoid schizophrenia.
Even in his younger years, the man was noticed by his wild behavior.
Defendant is convinced that he is not sick
Once in winter he was caught naked in the middle of the forest while fighting imaginary opponents in the air with a knife.
He threatened to kill a young boy on the bus and always had several knives close at hand in the entrance area of an apartment.
Once he also put the carer in an uncomfortable position when he locked himself in with her in his apartment.
"He has no insight into illness, he always said he is not sick, he does not need any medication, we all just imagine that," she reported.
The procedure itself is not about punishing the accused, but about his legal placement in psychiatry.
At the time of the crime, he was innocent.
The process is ongoing.
