28-Year-Old in Lower Austria Wanted to Set Parents on Fire: Detention

The individual is alleged to have doused his parents, who were lying in bed, with gasoline in January in the Zwettl district and attempted to set them on fire with a lighter. According to the jury, the man acted in a state of insanity. According to court information, the decision is final.
Parents Prevented the Planned Ignition
The incident occurred on January 22. The duo lying in bed themselves prevented the apparently planned ignition by using physical force.
A psychiatric report certified that the 28-year-old acted under the significant influence of a severe and persistent mental disorder. Chronic paranoid schizophrenia was present. Had the man been deemed sane, he could have been charged with attempted murder.
