Double murder in Casekow: the accused fights against his inner voices

A shocking case of violence shakes the Uckermark: a 28-year-old man was charged with his ex-girlfriend because of the murder of two people and the attempted manslaughter. The man who appeared in a wheelchair in the courtroom of the Neuruppin Regional Court commented on his defender and confessed the deeds.

The terrible events occurred in Casekow in January. Shortly after the end of the relationship with his 19-year-old ex-girlfriend, the accused stabbed her in her chest and injured her so badly that her life hovered in acute danger. Before this serious attack, he killed her 16-year-old brother and the 26-year-old partner of the father.

mental illness and follow

A brother of the accused reported that he suffered from the votes in his head. He is obviously seriously ill and suffers from a schizophrenic disease. As reported by nordkurier.de, he received medication and was in therapeutic treatment for a short time. The unclear regularity of his medication is a central element in the assessment of its guilt.

Aufbase of the available information, the public prosecutor strives to accommodate the accused in a psychiatric clinic because it is considered to be unable to guilt. He injured himself after the crime by stabbing with a knife and jumping out of a window. This indicates an acute self-risk and external risk, which in such cases justifies accommodation in a psychiatric institution on judicial arrangement.

a disturbing phenomenon

mental illnesses affect more than every fourth adult in Germany and, according to DGPPPN.de, are the second most common cause of sick days at work. It is assumed that the direct and indirect costs will continue to increase in the future. In this context, both the number of those affected and the type of treatment are important.

The convicted perpetrator remains in the hospital until he decided on his accommodation, since he is not yet “accommodated”. The presiding judge has already announced the Plädoyers for next Monday. It remains to be seen how the case will end and which teachings can be drawn from this tragic history.
