Knife attack on girl: Accused apologizes

After a chilling incident, a 39-year-old man confessed to the Berlin District Court for the knife attack on two innocent young girls in a school playground. The defense lawyer, speaking at the trial on the third of May, expressed deep apologies and regret on his client's behalf. The lawyer mentioned the man's condition, which they argued had triggered the attack.

Prosecutors are advocating for the accused to undergo treatment in a psychiatric hospital during the trial for attempted manslaughter. The alleged attacker entered the grounds of an elementary school in Berlin-Neukölln, where he stabbed the two girls – aged seven and eight – one after the other, targeting their neck areas, with the intent to end their lives. Both victims were critically injured and required emergency surgeries to save their lives. One schoolgirl's life hung in the balance for a short while.

Amidst the chaos, the police apprehended the suspect near the crime scene. At the time of his arrest, he claimed to have been under the influence of voices commanding him to carry out a vicious knife attack. He admitted that he was not familiar with the victims. The defense lawyer further elaborated, stating that the man was taken aback by the gravity of his actions and had only faint recollections of the event. He expressed relief that the girls had miraculously survived.

The man has since been kept in what is known as "Maßregelvollzug."
