On Tuesday, a cook (48) sat before a jury (chaired by Judge Ilona Schalwich-Mózes) on the accusation of attempted intentional grievous bodily harm (Section 87 of the Criminal Code).

According to prosecutor Karin Sperling’s indictment, on October 20, 2023, the cook kicked a kitchen assistant twice during an argument in the hallway of the commercial kitchen of an accommodation facility; The defendant then grabbed a 32 cm long kitchen knife and used it to make stabbing movements twice against the colleague’s face. She was able to evade both times – a male colleague then intervened and held the defendant back.

During the trial, the blameless cook denied that she had intentionally wanted to injure her colleague (victim’s lawyer: Stefan Rieder) with the knife. Initially, the defendant merely admitted to a dangerous threat – but ultimately she confessed to attempted bodily harm in accordance with Section 84 of the Criminal Code. The verdict that has already become final: 14 months of conditional imprisonment. The victim was also awarded 1,500 euros in partial compensation.
