The perpetrator did not consciously choose victims
The alleged perpetrator, who lives with his parents in the St. Peter district, may not have deliberately chosen the woman as a victim. He stated that in the survey. “He said he didn’t know the woman,” said a police officer to the APA. He is said to have approached her from behind at an intersection on St. Peter Hauptstrasse and stabbed him several times with a knife he had brought with him. Passers-by intervened and held the attacker until the police arrived. The woman was immediately taken to the LKH university hospital and underwent emergency surgery. As of Wednesday morning, her condition was described as “very critical”. In the afternoon, she succumbed to her injuries.
In the interrogation, the 27-year-old stated that he had recently been “in hospital medical treatment”. This and other information would still be checked, as well as witness interviews and other investigations, the police said. The man has not been noticed so far by acts of violence, but there have apparently been incidents due to psychological problems. The Grazer was brought to the Graz-Jakomini Prison. According to the public prosecutor, a preliminary detention has now been ordered at the LKH Graz Süd, the former state nerve clinic Siegmund Freud. An opinion is also to be prepared, as an APA police officer said.
With the death of the woman from Graz, two women in Styria were killed in a day and a half by knife attacks by men. On Tuesday morning, a 25-year-old Afghan woman was stabbed to death by her jealous husband (29) in Upper Styria. The man was arrested at the scene and taken to the Leoben Prison. The couple, who come from Afghanistan, have a three-year-old daughter, who was taken into care by the Liezen district authorities.
