Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court acted arbitrarily in finding that the defendant stabbed the victim in order to obtain sexual satisfaction and later intercourse.
Extracted holding
The finding was not manifestly untenable; the evidence allowed the inference that the defendant acted with a sexual motive.
Extracted reasoning
The defendant admitted he was still sexually aroused after the first intercourse, became angry when the woman refused further sex, and then stabbed her before later having intercourse with the body. The psychiatric report did not exclude the original motive for the stabbing.
