Berlin Woman Indefinitely Detained in Psychiatric Hospital After Alleged Knife Attack
A 41-year-old woman is to be indefinitely placed in a psychiatric hospital following an alleged knife attack on her former partner in Berlin-Lichtenberg. The 49-year-old man suffered multiple stab wounds to the upper body and was treated in a general hospital near me. The woman was initially taken into custody at the scene and has been provisionally placed in a psychiatric facility since the following day.
The woman, unnamed in sources, is accused of dangerous bodily harm and attempted manslaughter. She allegedly sprayed her former partner with an irritant and stabbed him multiple times with a knife, intending to kill. The Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office suspects the woman may not be criminally responsible due to a severe mental illness. The incident occurred on June 27, 2024. The woman had accused her former partner of sexually abusing their shared daughter without cause, though no evidence supports this claim.
The woman will be permanently placed in a psychiatric hospital, with the public prosecutor's application granted. Her mental state is considered a factor in the latter attack. The investigation into the incident continues.
