When do you not have to go to prison for murder?

Not everyone who commits a crime in Austria has to expect a prison sentence - not even in the case of a triple murder in a Viennese Asian studio, which can hardly be surpassed in terms of brutality. Anyone who is of unsound mind is sent to a detention center.

"In Austria, the term 'detention by measures' refers to the placement of offenders who suffer from a mental illness or are intellectually impaired in a forensic-therapeutic center," explains lawyer Sascha Flatz when asked by "Krone".
