Adam Egrt sentenced to 18 years for stabbing 90‑year‑old neighbor in Prague
The Prague High Court upheld an 18‑year prison term for Adam Egrt, adding compulsory psychiatric, anti‑alcohol and anti‑drug treatment. Egrt had stabbed his 90‑year‑old neighbour 16 times with a kitchen knife in her Kbely apartment on 29 September 2023, causing her death within seconds. DNA from the weapon and the victim’s blood on Egrt’s clothing linked him to the crime. Although the defence argued he suffered from schizophrenia, the court found no evidence of delusions at the time of the attack and rejected his appeal. The victim had previously helped Egrt financially and called him “babičko”.
