Overview
- The 25-year-old employee admitted in court to fatally stabbing his 41-year-old manager and said he acted because he felt bullied.
- According to court testimony and reporting, the May 7 attack occurred in the manager’s office with 26 stab wounds, the door was held shut, and the assailant left via a rear exit before being arrested nearby.
- A court-appointed psychiatrist testified that the defendant is severely mentally ill and was likely not criminally responsible at the time of the killing.
- The proceedings are following a security measure track that could lead to indefinite placement in a closed psychiatric hospital instead of a prison sentence.
- He had started about three months earlier on a mini-job contract of 42 hours per month at €13.50, remains in pre-trial detention, and the case is scheduled to continue on Wednesday, while New Yorker said it was deeply shocked.
