Czech, who was taken into custody, claimed self-defence, stating that he had been homeless and sleep-deprived for days, leading to the belief that he was "possessed" and that the victim had initiated the attack. He confessed to using his teeth as a weapon during the incident. While Czech was absent from the initial hearing, he appeared in court on Wednesday for arraignment.
