Tragedy in Munich's Psychiatric Ward: Kamilla's Family Demands Justice
Inquest Demanded by Kamilla's Family: Alleged Negligence in Mental Health Care - Psychiatric Hospital Death Investigation - Parents Seek Justice for Daughter Camilla
Hear the raw emotion in Eleonora Nagy's voice as she says, "My child was murdered by a freakin' madman!" Seems like the effort to brush this incident under the rug is leaving her frustrated and seeking justice. She ain't backing down, declaring, "We want answers!"
In the grisly year of 22, Eleonora's 40-year-old daughter, Kamilla, was brutally taken from this world in a psychiatric hospital close to Munich. A dude who loudly declared he needed to whack somebody, got voluntarily committed, and ended up slaying her in her hospital room.
"The details surrounding this heinous act and why my kid had to die are still a goddamn mystery," says Jella von Wiarda, Kamilla's family's attorney. They're demanding a thorough, rule-of-law investigation, and they've taken the matter to the Higher Regional Court of Munich.
Officials at the justice department confirm receiving their complaint and passing the files onto the Public Prosecutor's Office. No word yet on when a decision will be made on the investigation.
Confessed: The Killer Tortured Kamilla with a Metal Rod and Strangled Her with a Sweater
The perp who offed a fellow patient at the Isar-Amper Clinic later confessed in court that he'd tortured Kamilla with a metal rod, smothered her with her sweater, and then set her bed on fire. The dude's 33-year-old lawyer claimed Old Nick himself had given the order because Kamilla was a witch.
"Kamilla didn't get run over by a truck on the street," bluntly points out Kamilla's mom. She was "murdered in a supposedly safe space," a place meant for healing.
The man had been a patient at the clinic for just a few hours before the incident, having purportedly shared with the cops his intention to kill a dog on God's orders and, next, a human. According to von Wiarda, the man, Jayson David, had driven a nail scissors into the dog's armpit and then choked it.
Just a few scant hours later, he supposedly ripped the rod off the shower curtain in his bathroom and set off to Kamilla's room with it. Reports claim he struck her on the head with it twenty times before strangling her with a sweater and setting the place ablaze.
Why Didn't Anyone Stand Up?
"This head case was able to roam free on a locked-down psych ward, for goodness' sake," fumes von Wiarda. He was able to snatch the rod without raising any alarms. "He strolled through the halls, rod in hand, unchallenged." It wasn't until the fire alarm went off that the staff responded.
Court records mention a time frame of up to an hour. "The duration of this bloody atrocity is still unclear," says von Wiarda, referring to the "gruesome execution."
So how did this sicko manage to hack up his fellow patient without anyone intervening? Was there a blind spot in security? These questions still linger in the minds of Kamilla's family - and those of the Munich I Public Prosecutor's Office, at times.
Back in 22, the prosecutor's office kick-started an investigation to determine "whether the treating doctors or nursing staff at the Isar-Amper Clinic neglected their duty, which facilitated or eased the act of our suspect." The accusation: negligent homicide through inaction.
The public prosecutor's office got an expert opinion, grilled witnesses, and halted the proceedings in January of this year. The reason given? "No criminally relevant behavior was found with the definite evidence required for a court trial." The General Prosecutor's Office in Munich rejected a complaint against the decision. The rejection went down on March 24.
The Isar-Amper Clinic stayed tight-lipped about the incident, even regarding any changes in security measures.
Not only had Kamilla become a casualty of the circumstances in the psych ward, but the killer, Jayson David, a transgender Brazilian national, slipped through the cracks of the system. He entered as a mentally ill person and departed as a criminal. You bet your bottom dollar that somewhere out there, another mom is mourning the loss of her child.
Eleonore Nagy speaks of her daughter with heartache, saying she'll never see that smile again.
