The Somali man who beat his ex-partner and her friend to death with a rolling pin in the Favoriten district of Vienna last year is now on trial. The reason for the bestial double murder was a text message on his ex’s mobile phone. The details of the murder protocol are disturbing.
After the Somali man ( aged 29) beat two women to death with a rolling pin in September and then stabbed them with a knife, he had to stand trial at the Vienna Regional Court on Monday. The accused pleaded guilty to a large extent before the court.
His interrogation was difficult during the jury trial, as the accused repeatedly made contradictory statements. However, the court was able to rely on the comprehensive ten-page confession that the Somali had made to the police. In it, he stated that he had spent the night of September 13 in the flat of his ex-wife, with whom he has a child.
While doing so, he read a text message on his ex’s phone. A message to an acquaintance read: “Been a bit busy, I’ll be ready at 10 p.m.” – the Somali interpreted this sexually and began to get drunk. At first he considered killing himself, but then, according to his interrogation, he decided to kill his ex-wife, the addressee of the text message and a friend of the woman he blamed for the breakdown of the marriage instead.
The following day, he put this plan into action. He waited until the woman had taken the child to kindergarten, got a rolling pin from the kitchen and abruptly attacked the woman in the flat with nine violent blows to the head. He then put a blanket over the severely injured woman’s head, took a knife and stabbed her in the neck and head.
After the crime, the Somali man waited, drinking vodka, for the girlfriend who came to his ex-wife’s house for dinner every day at around 12.30 pm. When she arrived, he forced her to kneel on the bed in the bedroom with her back to him. Then he also attacked the victim, who was begging for her life, with the rolling pin and stabbed her at least 40 times with a knife.
The third bloody act did not take place. Although the suspect lured the alleged rival to a meeting point in front of the house using a text message, he forgot both the knife and the flat key, which left him unarmed. In a nearby park, the accused tried in vain to attack the man with a punch.
In court, the accused confessed to a large extent. He wanted to kill his wife’s friend and the alleged rival, but he “loved” his ex-wife. “I had a fit of rage, it was instantaneous,” the Somali claimed. He now also denied having planned the murder.
This was contradicted by court psychiatrist Peter Hofmann in an expert opinion. The crime had been a “balancing rampage” in which the highly dangerous man wanted to kill three people with the highest possible brutality without a cool-down stage. At the time of the crime, the man was not mentally ill or significantly affected by alcohol.
The verdict is expected in the afternoon. In case of a verdict of guilty, the man faces between 10 and 20 years or life imprisonment.
