The sad record as the youngest murder suspect in Austria is currently held by a 17-year-old in Vienna, who is allegedly responsible for the series of attacks on homeless people. But this case from Carinthia is also shocking - because another young man is said to have killed his victim with particular brutality and 17 stab wounds. 

Handcuffed and heavily guarded, a 20-year-old man is brought before the jury today at the regional court in Klagenfurt. The young defendant is a suspected murderer - who is said to have extinguished another life without hesitation in an "overkill" a few months ago. How could it come to this?
