In the spring of this year there was a terrible attack on a busy street in the middle of Olching: A then 55-year-old stabbed his wife's head with a knife.
Olching / Munich
- A man (56) stabs his wife with a knife.
In the middle of Olching, in broad daylight.
In court, he cannot remember the act, but does not allow his defense attorney to “deny it”.
He is absolutely silent about the motif.
Since yesterday, Monday, exactly this case has been heard by the Munich II district court.
Attempted murder is charged.
It was not the first time that the Olchinger of Indian origin attacked his wife.
According to a ruling by the Fürstenfeldbruck district court, the 56-year-old hit his wife with a crutch in February 2019.
It was on the floor.
The crutch was hers.
Husband attacks wife: Chastisement for resisting him
It was a punishment action.
Allegedly she had defied his orders and should leave the restaurant.
The defendant runs a pizza service in Olching.
She had previously asked him for money.
Then it escalated.
In March of this year, the man was waiting for his wife with a large knife (39 centimeters) on a busy street.
He was sitting on a stone, his cap half over his face as if to mask it.
When his wife was dropped off by a friend after a doctor's visit and opened the passenger door to get out, the defendant attacked his wife.
He pulled her hair down and stabbed her head several times.
A passerby shouted for help, then a man standing further away noticed and called the police.
A third passerby finally pulled the Indian back by the left arm after he had also attacked the girlfriend behind the wheel.
With the help of other passers-by, the 56-year-old was finally immobilized until the police arrived.
Wife stabbed: accused severely alcoholic
What had driven him, what had perhaps happened between the couple before, remained unclear.
Allegedly, the pizza delivery man was seriously alcoholic.
He drank vodka from coffee cups.
He emptied a bottle every day.
With Corona and the lockdown, he got worse and worse.
His alcohol abuse grew, and beer was added to vodka.
He had to be taken to hospital twice by ambulance.
Even the day before the crime.
In the run-up to the proceedings, he agreed to an arbitration through his defense attorney Werner Kränzlein.
He transferred 9,000 euros in compensation to his wife and 5,000 euros to her girlfriend.
He also formally apologized for frightening and hurting the women.
“Those are decent amounts,” remarked the presiding judge Thomas Bott.
But they can hardly be reconciled with his memory gaps.
The victims would ask themselves why the accused had hit them with a giant knife, the judge tried to elicit his motive from the Indian - but without success.
The process is ongoing.
