After entering the house, the suspect allegedly stabbed Rens to death with a large kitchen knife in his bedroom, “in a gruesome manner”, according to the public prosecutor. The housemate who rushed over got into a fight with the man, was seriously injured and eventually managed to flee the house. The alerted police were able to arrest the suspect on the spot. “An indescribable drama,” said the officer.
The suspect began to applaud during the officer’s speech and then collided with the chairman, who ordered him to remain silent. Then Ö. did not want to remain silent, the chairman sent him out of the room. When he left the room, there was a brief skirmish between the suspect and the public prosecutor’s office, who escorted him to the cell block of the courthouse. As a result, the man was unable to hear the demand himself. O. did not want to appear at the hearing on Friday, but the court forced him to do so with a so-called attendance order.

The Public Prosecution Service takes the suspect very seriously that Ö. did not want to answer any questions. The surviving relatives are therefore left with major questions. “Why?” the officer said. “Why did he go into the victims’ home and attack?”

Pronunciation
There has been no apparent plan to stab a housemate, the Public Prosecution Service believes. “We don’t know what would have happened if he had not intervened in the attack on Rens,” the officer said.
The court will make its ruling on May 31.
