Krems: Man brought to court after violent outburst against partner
Before a court in Krems stood a 36-year-old employee who had physically attacked and threatened his partner. At the hearing, the father of two admitted to the acts against the woman.
According to his account, he had suppressed a great deal over a long period until the situation escalated. He admitted to grabbing the woman by the neck. He additionally held a kitchen knife to her arm and made a death threat. He also deliberately destroyed her care diploma in order to terrorise her.
The defendant showed remorse at the hearing. He described how he had subsequently realised how far he had gone. He considered the relationship to be over and had sought professional help.
The presiding judge was convinced of his remorse. Since the man had no previous police record, she decided on a diversion course. The proceedings will be suspended for 24 months. If the defendant remains crime-free during this time, the matter will be finally closed.
