'Vampire' on trial for blood attack

[Hum]

A man who thought he was a vampire and attacked his father to drink his blood faced court in Germany on Monday, but told the judge he could not remember the evening in question.

The 39-year-old named only as Raimund G., from the Bavarian village of Althegnenberg, allegedly decided last November that he was a vampire and had to drink blood to join an order of vampires, the Abendzeitung M?nchen newspaper reported. His chosen victim: his father Arnold.

One evening late last November, as the family sat around the dinner table, Raimund allegedly reached into a drawer, pulled out a knife and attacked his father, saying that he was a vampire and needed to kill him, the newspaper said.

His father was able to rip the knife from his hands, but when Raimund went after him with a second knife, he sustained a cut to his index finger, which bled profusely. His son allegedly licked up the blood from his cut, :wacko: according to the Abendzeitung M?nchen.

By the time police arrived, Raimund G. was reportedly calmly standing at the fence talking to a neighbour, the paper said.

He is being tried at the district court in Munich on charges of grievous bodily harm, and a verdict is expected in the case on Friday.

Raimund G.'s former girlfriend, who served as a witness in the trial, said he was not acting like himself that day and that he told her he felt "like a vampire."

Now back living with his parents, Raimund G. said that he had been drinking heavily in the months prior to the attack, and his girlfriend said that she played a lot of video games with him at the time, some of them violent.

Investigators also found numerous horror films at his home.

The public prosecutor?s office is asking for him to be sent to a psychiatric ward, a court spokeswoman said.

Yea but its silly to include them in the new article. Someone will take it as a "told you so" moment for proving video games are bad.
