Knife video on cell phone

Instructions for attack: Chechen (17) targeted

A shocking video has been found on the cell phone of a young offender. The Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office and the State Criminal Police Office are investigating.

He is only 17 years old, but already an old acquaintance in the courtroom and behind bars - the Vienna police consider a young Chechen to be a so-called prolific offender with a long criminal record. In his young criminal career, he has already amassed countless previous convictions for violent and property offenses.

But when the young criminal's cell phone was confiscated and analyzed in a new case, even the most hardened investigators were shocked: the 17-year-old had a video with instructions for a fatal stabbing!

Brutal shooter game
Like in a brutal first-person shooter video game, you can see a hand wielding a large knife and stabbing again and again. It's like practising where and how the weapon has to penetrate the body in order to inflict the greatest possible injuries on the potential victim or even kill them! And this just a few days after the shocking attack by an Afghan on a police officer on the fringes of a performance by a right-wing critic of Islam in the city of Mannheim, which continues to move the whole of Germany.

The 29-year-old officer, Rouven Laur, did not survive the murderous attack. He died in hospital after several days in a coma due to massive stabs to the head and neck. But even after his death, he still saves many lives as an organ donor.
