The public prosecutor’s office accuses the man, who suffers from schizophrenia, of murder; the defendant is said to be incompetent. The 40-year-old at the time of the crime is said to have stabbed the 64-year-old doctor with a kitchen knife in front of a clinic in April as he was on his way to his car after work. He is said to have known him from a previous stay in the clinic.
According to a court spokeswoman, the accused did not comment specifically on the allegations at the start of the trial. He only stated in general terms that one had to prevent the food from becoming poisoned.
