Sunday’s horrible attack on Koropiwhere four people were injured by the uncontrolled mania of a 51 -year -old screwdriver, shocks public opinion and again brings to the forefront issues of mental health, violence and social indifference.
The weapon of the attack: a screwdriver
The 51 -year -old used a simple but murderous tool – a screwdriver – to attack unannounced to unsuspecting citizens. The choice of this tool, which is not traditionally linked to criminal acts, reveals a psyche that works outside the limits of logic and fear of consequences.
The offender’s profile: a past full of violence
The 51 -year -old’s brother revealed to Mega that the perpetrator had been repeatedly arrested in the past and had served in prison sentences. However, the absence of meaningful psychosocial support and treatment after his release led to an ever -worsening situation.
“He has not regretted anything he has done in the past,” his brother said.
Repeated incidents of violence
According to popular market professionals in Koropi, the 51 -year -old had also created problems in the past, attacking customers with knives and threatening anyone who did not buy from his bench.
“Why are you going and shopping across and don’t shop for me? And he had a knife and chased the client, “an eyewitness said.
The absence of his mother and not taking his medication were at each time as an explosive mechanism.
A system that fails over and over again
The case of the 51 -year -old tragically reveals the gaps of our penitentiary and psychiatric system. People with a history of dangerous behavior return to society without the necessary support, leaving local communities exposed to new tragedies.
