Knife attack in Casekow: Ex-girlfriend survives, perpetrator in a wheelchair!

On July 15, 2025, the trial against a 28-year-old from Casekow, who is accused, began to attack and kill his ex-girlfriend and two of her relatives with a knife in January of this year.

origin of the acts of violence and mental illnesses

The relationship between the accused and his ex-girlfriend had ended after only two months in the evening before the crime. A brother of the accused reported his schizophrenic diseases that gave him the feeling of having a second personality. These psychological problems, according to SWR , are often associated with violent acts. It is estimated that people with schizophrenia who have fantasies of killing are statistically 7-8 times more dangerous, especially if there are additional alcohol or drugs.

A large number of studies show that mentally ill people are not more violent than the "normal" population on average. However, 15% of all acts of violence can be explained by mental illnesses alone. When it comes to murder and homicide, the proportion of mentally ill is even between 50% and 90%. The accused received medication in the past and was briefly in therapeutic treatment, but the regularity of taking medication remains unclear. In view of these circumstances, the public prosecutor requests his accommodation in a psychiatric hospital for incapacity for guilt.

mental illnesses in society

mental illnesses have become increasingly important in the world of work in recent years. So report Statista that more and more working people have been affected by mental stress, especially in the past ten years. Every year, production loss costs of over 17 billion euros incur from mental and behavioral disorders. The rising volume of mental illnesses affects not only the adults, but also children and adolescents who are increasingly and above average suffering from mental health problems.

These developments are also evident in the increasing numbers of sick leave. Statistics show that the number of days of incapacity for work increases due to mental illnesses, with depression in 2023 as the third most important individual diagnosis for work failures. These figures illustrate how important it is to recognize and address mental illnesses at an early stage to prevent potential violence.

The upcoming process is exciting because the pleadings will be expected next Monday. It remains to be seen how the court will deal with the psychological aspects and serious allegations.
