Influencer killed
Perpetrator now says: “I loved her after all”
The prison hearing against the young man who allegedly killed his ex-girlfriend on the morning of November 23 took place at 11 a.m. Viennese lawyer Astrid Wagner took over his defense shortly beforehand: "My client says that he doesn't understand what happened himself."
Last Saturday, the anxiety and desperate search for Stefanie P., who had been missing from Graz for almost a week at the time, came to a horrific end: Patrick M., the ex-boyfriend of the well-known young influencer, made a terrible confession to the police: "Yes, it's true, I killed Stefi." On the morning of November 23, in her apartment - after she had come home from a party.
The 31-year-old claimed in interrogations that the crime had happened during a jealousy quarrel. He maintained this responsibility at his prison hearing, which took place on Monday at the Graz Regional Criminal Court. In the presence of his lawyer Astrid Wagner.
"I didn't want to do this ..."
The well-known defense lawyer had previously visited the former freight forwarding employee and waiter in custody for the first time and had a long conversation with him. "My client is completely broken, he doesn't understand what happened," she says. "He keeps sobbing that he loved Stefanie P. endlessly - and still does."
My client is completely broken. He says he doesn't understand what happened.

And he affirms: "I was so shocked when I suddenly saw Stefi lying motionless in front of me." In a "total state of trance", he then claims to have concealed his actions - packing the body into a trolley and then hiding it in a wooded area in Slovenia ...
Patrick M. is facing a charge of murder - and thus a sentence of life imprisonment.
