Colleague stabbed in clothing store: Man in Krefeld to be placed in psychiatric care - Apple Store Employee Sentenced to Indefinite Psychiatric Detention After Fatal Stabbing
A 27-year-old man has been placed in indefinite psychiatric detention after murdering a female coworker in an Apple Store. The attack took place on May 7, when he stabbed the victim 25 times with a kitchen knife. Court proceedings confirmed his diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia as a key factor in the ruling. The incident occurred inside the Apple Store where both the defendant and the victim worked. Witnesses later described the assault as sudden and extremely violent, with the woman suffering fatal injuries from multiple stab wounds. The ruling ensures the man will remain in psychiatric care without a set release date. His diagnosis and the nature of the crime were decisive in the court’s decision. The victim’s family has not issued a public statement following the verdict.
