A 33-year-old woman has to answer for the killing of her mother before the regional court in Regensburg. The public prosecutor’s office accuses her of murder. The defendant allegedly attacked the 61-year-old in her apartment in Mainburg, Lower Bavaria, with a porcelain cat and stabbed it with a knife. The victim bled to death after numerous blows and stings. During the testimony of the 33-year-old on Thursday, the public was excluded, among other things because of the woman’s psychological problems. The defendants’ emergency call from July 3 was then played. At 4:29 am she told the police: “I killed my mother. Lock me up forever.” While a patrol car was making its way to the apartment, the officer on the phone kept the suspect talking. There she describes in short, choppy sentences that she suffered from her mother, who dominated everyone and everyone. Now all are “redeemed from her”. The trigger for the crime is said to have been the dog Trixie, whom the defendant described as her child and who is said to have disappeared. You had to hand over the animal, she tells the officer. And now the dog is “somewhere in nowhere”.
The defendant speaks of psychological agony on the emergency number. She looked for love in her mother, instead the mother did everything “just not what a mother would do”. She tells of a brother who has to be protected from her and keeps saying: “Please come and get me.” When the policeman asked how old the mother was, the daughter said: “Too old. 61.” The officer wants to know where the knife is now. The woman replies: “It’s in my mother and it stays there.” You yourself sit on the couch “like the devil”.
One of the officers who was present at the arrest said as a witness that the woman appeared psychologically distressed, described her mother as a “monster” and talked a lot about her dog. He was more important to her than herself. The woman asked the police several times: “Don’t look me in the eye.” A policewoman reported how the defendant attacked her with a lit cigarette after her arrest during a cigarette break in the courtyard of the police station. You fended off the attack, said the officer. Then the 33-year-old shouted: “Shoot me!”
While the policewoman spoke in court, the defendant raised her hand like a schoolgirl and hesitantly answered. When the presiding judge Michael Hammer gave her the floor, she said to the policewoman: “I wanted to sincerely apologize to you again for the incident.” The hearing followed the woman on Thursday tense, calm and attentive. When her defense attorneys asked for a short break for a meeting and left the room, she politely asked the judge, “May I ask what happens now?” Michael Hammer explained the process procedure to her over and over again. According to the indictment, the woman acted with full intent to kill and insidiously. She has been in a mental health facility since her arrest. The process is set to continue next Wednesday. The verdict could fall in mid-December.
