It happened on a November evening in 2018. Three young people met their victim under a pretext at the Steig bus stop in Winterthur. The three forced their victim into the nearby forest with fist blows. There the eldest of the three knelt over the injured party, whom he knew and, according to his own statements, “used to respect badly” and hit him in the face with his fist. 16 times. He had one of his colleagues film the crime on the victim’s cell phone, and later he sent the video. The filmmaker put his cell phone in his pocket.
The victim suffered a tear and a slight brain trauma and, according to the indictment, had to be taken to hospital as an emergency. “What did you feel during the act?” Asked the judge. “I was sorry that I had to do that,” said the perpetrator in the courtroom. “After the fact I helped him up and said it was over now.”
