Yvonne Kussmann wrote that there are still no traces of Muhamad M., who escaped from the secure psychiatric facility Altscherbitz in Saxony on September 25, 2026. According to a report by FOCUS from the previous day, the 22-year-old Afghan used his first approved accompanied outing in the unsecured clinic area to escape. The only caregiver who accompanied him could not hold him back, Kussmann wrote. She asked the clinic if there was a directive to respond exclusively verbally in the event of an escape and not to use direct force. As a comparison, she referred to Ahmad N., who, according to her account, escaped from the secure facility in Wiesloch during a similar outing on September 8, 2023. Caregivers had followed him to the later crime scene; there he fatally stabbed the 30-year-old cashier Lisa with a knife he had previously stolen in a TEDI store. Kussmann also requested explanations regarding an assessment expressed by the clinic, according to FOCUS, that no further crimes were to be expected due to long-term medication for several weeks. She asked among other things when the medication had started and how long Muhamad M. had been stable before his escape. He had been accommodated since October 2025; on June 30, 2026, the regional court in Leipzig ordered his permanent accommodation. At the time of the judgment, further crimes were anticipated, and according to Kussmann, there was also a lack of insight into his illness and willingness to undergo treatment. The clinic rejected both questions, citing safety aspects, patient protection, and medical confidentiality. They also emphasized that those accommodated were clinic patients with a statutory entitlement to treatment and not inmates of a correctional facility. The medical management has its own assessment and discretion in therapeutic measures. Kussmann wrote that she forwarded her inquiry to the responsible ministry and shared the search alert again. In the meantime, another photo has been published. https://t.co/rNiWoDmLNM #Flucht #Sachsen #Gesundheitssystem (translated)
