"He claimed he had wished to be dead since the age of seven. He said he suffered from emotional outbursts as a child and blamed them on his parents, who he claimed had mistreated him. He claimed this had caused him to become impotent and that he suffered from a fear of being thought gay as a result.

He accused doctors of bungling an operation on his back after he suffered an injury in 2015, and claimed he was in constant pain as a result."

Well this thread died a quite death when the perp was not a Muslim. Muslims cannot be mentally ill. Only non muslims can be. A muslim kills people? Terrorism. A non muslim does? Mental illness.

Not true in Germany. Two people were stabbed by a Syrian refugee here in my hometown, police right away called him mentally-disturbed, three weeks ago a Syrian refugee stabbed a woman he didn't even know in a village not far away from Hannover, police suspect "mental problems".

BILD discovered that two injured people got married at the Raphaelsklinik on Wednesday. Hospital speaker Michael Bührke (52) said to BILD: "I can confirm that there was a wedding ceremony. The bride and groom are patients of our house. It was very touching."

The couple gave their marriage vows in the immediate family circle. According to BILD information, Münster's Lord Mayor Markus Lewe (53) assumed the role of registrar and married the couple.

On April 7, amok driver Jens Rüther (48) raced with his camping bus into a crowd, who were enjoying the first beautiful spring day of the year in front of the traditional restaurant "Kiepenkerl". Two people died. Immediately afterwards, the perpetrator shot himself. Apparently, psychological problems drove him to this madness.

Most of the victims injured during the rampage in Münster are getting better. Fortunately, the condition of professional volleyball player Chiara Hoenhorst (21) has also stabilised. Hoenhorst was in an artificial coma after the attack on Saturday (that left two dead), and her life was in danger.

In the University Hospital of Münster and the Clemenshospital, the condition of three other patients, who were initially critically injured, has also stabilised. Thus, only one victim is still in life-threatening danger.

Seven other victims of the rampage are still being treated as inpatients. A seriously injured woman has since been relocated next to her husband, who was also injured.

Münster. The police found three more bullets in the murder vehicle of the maniac driver in Münster. The experts are currently investigating if the bullets are indeed from the rampage driver.
The new findings emerge from a report by Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) for the interior committee of the state parliament, which will be presented on Thursday.

According to the report, forensics discovered three bullet holes in the backrest and seat of the rear seat. Police spokesman Andreas Bode announced on Wednesday that the investigation by the State Criminal Police Office had not yet been completed. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the projectiles originate from the gun of the amok driver Jens R..

The 48-year-old had shot himself after crashing into a crowd with his camping bus in the old town of Münster on April 7. Two people were killed and over 20 were injured.

Nine days before the crime Jens R. had visited the social psychiatric service of the city of Münster on 29 March and handed over a letter. As the report to the Committee on Home Affairs states, the evaluation of this letter is not yet complete.

According to Bode, there is no evidence to date that city employees have made mistakes and that their intervention could have prevented the rampage.

The report is confusing - did they find bullets? or bullet holes? Or both bullets and bullet holes? Were these bullets found IN those bullet holes?

:thinking:
