Aurich (Lower Saxony) – He stabbed his mother more than 30 times with a knife and killed her. The court had to acquit the man. However, that does not mean he is free.
A spokeswoman for the Aurich Regional Court in East Frisia said the 38-year-old was not criminally responsible after the verdict was announced. However, the man must remain in a psychiatric clinic for an indefinite period of time.
Looking back: According to the prosecution, the argument escalated in mid-February in the house they shared in the town of Norden (Lower Saxony). The German attacked his mother (62) with a kitchen knife and inflicted numerous stab wounds and cuts on her head, shoulder and arms. The woman was so badly injured that she bled to death.
