Man Found Not Guilty of Murder Due to Insanity in Traunstein Court

The court ruled the accused must be committed to psychiatric care following the fatal stabbing of a doctor.

The defendant was found to have acted under the influence of severe paranoid schizophrenia, rendering him not criminally responsible.
Both the prosecution and defense agreed on the defendant's lack of culpability due to his mental illness.
The victim, a 64-year-old senior doctor, was killed outside his clinic in Wasserburg am Inn in April.
The accused believed he was preventing harm from poisoned food, a delusion stemming from his mental condition.
The victim's daughter delivered an emotional statement in court, expressing the family's grief and loss.
