A killer without remorse

Brutal double murder: “I’m a good person after all”

In early 2023, a Pole broke into two houses in Vienna. And brutally killed a pharmacist and a young mother. The perpetrator did not know the victims, he killed out of pure lust for murder. To this day, he denies his horrific crimes. "Because I am a good person," he says. 

Not short, not tall; not fat, not thin; not handsome, not ugly. Nothing seems - at first glance - frightening about Wojciech M. When he is brought into Hall 1 of the Vienna Regional Court by several prison guards at 9 a.m. on November 13, 2023, the 51-year-old keeps his head bowed.
