  • An Austrian court sentenced a man to life in prison Wednesday in a murder case that prompted right-wing politicians to call for a new category of "preventive detention". The 35-year-old man, an Austrian-born Turkish national referred to by the media as "Oe", was convicted of murdering the head of the local welfare department in the town of Dornbirn in February 2019. The case gained widespread media attention in Austria as the man had been deported in 2009 over previous convictions. A ban on his re-entry was ignored when he travelled back to Austria in early 2019 and then claimed asylum. The judge who handed down the sentence called the killing "extremely brutal, vindictive and treacherous". The jurors rejected the defendant's argument that he had not meant to kill the victim and that he wanted to "punish" him in a row over access to welfare payments. The defendant's lawyers say they plan to appeal the verdict. After the case right-wing politicians began calling for a new category of "preventive detention" for those judged a danger to society. Conservative Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is a supporter of the idea, and it was written into the agreement heralding his new coalition government with the Green party. New Interior Minister Karl Nehammer told public TV on Monday that the new measure would apply to asylum-seekers in the first instance. However, critics have said that if properly enforced, existing legislation would be enough to deal with cases like the one in Dornbirn. The new Green Justice Minister Alma Zadic has herself appeared to throw doubt on how far-reaching any "preventive detention" would be, emphasising that it would have to conform to the Austrian constitution and to the European Convention on Human Rights. Kurz and Nehammer's People's Party (OeVP) have made clear their wish to continue the hard line on security and immigration which the party previously pursued in coalition with the far-right Freedom Party (FPOe) until May last year. Observers say this may develop into a source of friction within the coalition, with the Greens having supported much more liberal positions when they were in opposition. jsk/har
