Revenge plan from the cell: Magdeburg assassin raised serious allegations!

Magdeburg, Deutschland - still shaken by the amocran, which took place on December 20, 2022 in Magdeburg and six people cost the lives, while 327 were injured, the case of Taleb al-Abdulmohsen is the focus of the public. The psychiatrist born in Saudi Arabia, who has lived in Germany since 2006, was immediately identified as a perpetrator. He wanted to draw attention to himself at all costs, which led to this terrible incident. [Welt] reports that al-abdulmohsen raised significant allegations in a 36-page letter from his cell to his former boss, Björn Bühler.

in the handwritten letter, dated June 2, 2025, al-abdulmohsen puts the German authorities in an extremely negative light. He claims that there is a "revenge plan" against Saudi ex-Muslim asylum seekers and speaks of "attacks by German authorities" to Saudi refugees. These unsustainable allegations urge the investigators to investigate the question to what extent their earlier psychological problems with the brutal deeds could be connected. [BBC] points out that al-abdulmohsen (50) apparently does not fit into the typical profile of perpetrators of similar attacks, since it neither acted extremely Islamistically nor showed signs of radicalization in the past. Rather, he expressed criticism of Islam and sympathized on social media with the right -wing extremist Afd.

unexplained motifs and claims

The exact motives for the terrible act are still unclear. Al-Abdulmohsen himself states in his letter that he wants to apologize to Björn Bühler for the stress caused. Bühler, who was initially released, received the okay in March 2025 after no allegations could be made against him. However, he separated from his employer, Salus gGmbH to leave it behind.

psychiatric specialist questions in the context

This case also raises essential questions about psychiatric treatment of criminals. The scientific discussion about treatment approaches has increased in recent years. A publication on this topic emphasizes that the forensic-psychiatric treatment places in Germany have increased significantly. [PubMed] illuminates factors that influence the probability of success in the treatment of addicts. It is particularly important here which measures are taken to prevent such violent acts in the future.

The Taleb al-Abdulmohsen case dramatically shows how confusing the topic about mental illnesses, radicalization and its consequences. Whether through abuse or through what he sees as a "revenge plan" - the despair of a man who lives in a foreign country and seeks his identity resulted in a crime that the nation cannot forget.
