After the murder of two people in the Mühlviertel region, many people are asking themselves: How can something like this happen? Psychiatrist and expert Sigrun Roßmanith explains why a blameless person suddenly picks up a weapon and kills others. And what can happen if he is caught.

The psychiatric court expert, psychotherapist and criminal prognosticator Sigrun Roßmanith from Vienna explains in the "Krone" interview how violent excesses similar to the Roland Drexler case can occur, why women are much less prone to such excessive reactions and what can happen when a fugitive perpetrator is suddenly cornered.
