This tragic incident occurred on August 1, 2014, when, in the afternoon, Emila B. came to her apartment in Bogatynia with her friend, Kinga L.. Her brother, Adrian B., was in one of the rooms of the apartment.
The girls went to the second room. About 30 minutes later, Adrian B. ran into the room where they were staying, holding a kitchen knife. The defendant approached his sister, who was sitting on the sofa, and stabbed her at least five times in the forearms and thighs.
Seeing this, Kinga L. began screaming, briefly distracting the attacker and allowing Emilia B. to free herself. The attacker then approached L. and also stabbed her three times: once in the lower abdomen and twice in the left shoulder.
Meanwhile, the attacker’s sister ran to the entrance door, intending to open it. However, Adrian B. prevented her from doing so. Still holding the knife in his right hand, he grabbed Emilia B. by her clothing with his left hand and pushed her into the kitchen. He also ordered the other victim to enter the room.
There, Adrian B. attempted to have sexual intercourse with his sister Emilia and then with her friend, but he failed to achieve his intended aim because he could not obtain an erection.
The perpetrator told the victims that he “wanted to read people’s minds” and that “for what he had done to others, he had to commit suicide or kill them”.
At that time, Kinga L. began persuading the defendant to let both victims go. She promised him that no one would find out about the incident. She took advantage of the perpetrator’s momentary inattention and called for help by telephoning her mother.
After a moment, the woman reached the apartment, but could not open the door because Adrian B. had blocked it. Only after L. pulled B. away could the door be opened and both victims freed.
The investigation also established that on July 19, 2014, at approximately 5:00 p.m., Adrian B. ran up to Urszula F. on a street in Bogatynia and kicked the bicycle she was riding. The victim fell onto the grass. The perpetrator approached her, grabbed her legs and dragged her onto the asphalt. He then began tugging at Urszula F.’s shorts, attempting to remove them. The woman began loudly calling for help. At that moment, a car approached. The perpetrator became frightened and fled.
Questioned as a suspect, Adrian B. confessed to all the acts of which he was accused. He explained that he had committed them so that other people would not read his mind, and because he wanted to learn to read the minds of others.
Court-appointed psychologists determined that Adrian B. was neither mentally ill nor intellectually disabled and that he had been legally sane when he committed the alleged acts. They diagnosed him with feigned mental illness.
The defendant had no previous convictions. The crimes with which he is charged carry a sentence of between 3 and 15 years’ imprisonment.
