The German national accused of killing his 91-year-old socialite wife last August but was in February deemed mentally incompetent to stand trial, is still unfit to face the charges against him, according to the doctors evaluating him, the Associated Press reports.

Albrecht Muth, who has been housed at St. Elizabeth’s psychiatric hospital, will return to D.C. Superior Court today for another mental incompetency hearing. Muth, 47, is charged with first-degree murder the death of his wife, Viola Drath, who was a longtime fixture of the Georgetown social scene. If convicted, Muth could face additional sentencing because of Drath’s age and the manner of her death, which court documents previously described as “especially heinous, atrocious or cruel.”

But Muth’s trial will continue to be put off if a judge in D.C. Superior Court today again agrees with the doctors’ assessment. While prosecutors have previously called him an impostor who deceived and later killed his wealthy and much-older wife, a government doctor who evaluated Muth in February said he was delusional and could potentially be suffering from psychosis.

Muth, after all, has previously proclaimed himself to be a general in the Iraqi army, has refused to wear underwear (allegedly because of his Iraqi allegiances) and has suggested that Iranian spies are to blame for Drath’s death.

According to the AP, the doctors who evaluated Muth last week said that while he’s still not ready to face trial, he’ll get there eventually:

“At present, Mr. Muth continues to possess a factual understanding of the court proceedings. What remains of concern is his ability to rationally understand the proceedings against him or consult with his attorneys to a reasonable degree of rational understanding,” according to a doctor’s letter submitted this week ahead of the court hearing.

Meanwhile, The Washington Times has a long look at Muth and Drath’s bizarre 20-year marriage, one that Drath’s friends describe in which the elderly socialite was “totally under his domination.”
