A 38-year-old man stands before the jury in Feldkirch today, who, according to the indictment, kicked his 37-year-old girlfriend in the head in Bregenz last November so violently that she died in hospital ten days later after irreversible brain damage. The unemployed mason’s ex-girlfriend, who was involved in the dispute, was also injured. All those involved were drunk, the man with between 2.1 and 3.4 per thousand.

Murder trial in Feldkirch
The 38-year-old took the blame for the minor injuries to the ex-girlfriend in the run-up to the trial, but he could not explain the death of the 37-year-old because he “definitely did not hit her”. Forensic psychiatrist Reinhard Haller certified the defendant’s sanity and classified the alleged acts as typical acts of aggression by a severely addictive person who lost control and acted impulsively and aggressively. Forensic medicine has ruled out that the woman’s injuries were caused by falling on the edge of a table through her own fault.
