A man who killed prisoners by injecting them with diesel has been convicted of terrorism after boasting about his shocking crimes while fighting for ISIS.
An investigation showed the Syrian extremist, 23, had ISIS propaganda material on his mobile phone and tablet.
Together with witness statements about how he'd boasted of atrocities committed in a refugee camp, the Syrian asylum seeker was sentenced to three years in prison by a regional court in the north-central Austrian city of Salzburg for joining a terrorist militia.
He strongly denied that he had been an ISIS fighter but witnesses convinced the judges otherwise in a trial that was held in private under strict security measures.
Independently, three of the four witnesses said that the young man had boasted in a refugee camp in the country about the atrocities he had committed.
The man said several times that he had killed pro-government soldiers in Syria by injecting them with diesel.
Yet the Syrian denied ever having said this to the men with whom he had shared a tent at the camp, and said that the witnesses misunderstood him as he had merely talked about television news
One of the witnesses reported the man to the camp authorities, after which he was arrested by Austrian police.
Local media reported that in his first interrogation the Syrian made a confession.
But at the start of the trial the defendant changed his statements completely and claimed that he had nothing to do with ISIS.
The judge deemed there was enough evidence to convict him
