The triple murder in an erotic club and the filmed gang rape of a girl (12) - the "Krone" is now bringing new details to light in the search for clues to two horror crimes that are also moving people internationally ... 

Fall 1: „Dschihad“-Dreifachkiller sticht fast 100-mal zu

Not only the shocking confession of one of the alleged perpetrators, but also the statements in the police interrogation following the triple murder in a Viennese erotic club are causing upheaval. The Afghan asylum seeker Ebadullah A. enters an Asian studio in the evening hours after visiting a mosque. With one goal: to murder. "Prostitutes are under the cloak of Satan. I read in the Koran that I should wage jihad!"

Knife bought in the supermarket
Voices had also ordered him to commit the horrific act. As "Heute" reports, he bought three knives with blades of different lengths in a supermarket before the bloodlust. In the erotic club, the 27-year-old then immediately stabbed two women working there and the owner - all Chinese women - repeatedly. Forensics counted almost 100 stabs in total!

Some of them with such immense force that the heads of two of the victims were almost severed. Only one woman survived because she locked herself in a room. The death screams of her colleagues will haunt her for the rest of her life.

For the lawyer, the alleged triple murderer is "a broken soul, an unfortunate sick person". The knife she was guided by magic and sorcery. "He lives in a mythical world."

Whether the public prosecutor's office sees it the same way for the suspect, who is now in custody at the Vienna Regional Court, will now be clarified by a psychiatric report commissioned from a specialized expert.

Sanity determines length of detention
The expert opinion will also determine the length of the prison sentence. If the Afghan is deemed insane at the time of the crime, he could de facto be committed to an institution for mentally disturbed offenders without a murder trial. And then - as in the case of the Amstetten horror father Josef Fritzl - a senate of judges would decide whether to release him from detention.

If the Afghan asylum seeker, who has been with us since November 2022, did not commit the triple murder in a state of mental derangement, he faces a life sentence. Ebadullah A.'s lawyer also wants to await further toxicology tests on his client. According to the lawyer, murder while intoxicated with liquid ecstasy is also possible. The so-called GBH can trigger massive bouts of aggression ...

Fall 2: Massenvergewaltigung einer Zwölfjährigen

What begins with an everyday teenage romance and a supposedly harmless kiss at the beginning of the previous year ends in a nightmare and a ruined life for a twelve-year-old. Abused by her first boyfriend in a dark, dirty parking garage near Vienna Central Station, the schoolgirl begins a six-month ordeal that ends with cell phone videos of gang rapes.

Shocking image of women in a parallel society 
The suspects, some of whom are still children themselves aged between 13 and 18, belong to a multicultural gang. With previous convictions for violent crimes, burglaries and thefts, they are apparently growing up with a disturbing Stone Age image of women in a parallel Muslim society. Because for a confessed 16-year-old Bulgarian (also of Muslim faith), for example, abusing three women in an apartment is "voluntary sex". He "did not hold Anna-Sofia down". And was surprised when she accused him of rape weeks later. His lawyer Manfred Arbacher-Stöger: "Yes, my client had sex with the girl. But he says it was consensual. And she claimed to be 14, not twelve years old."

Such assaults had also occurred in a stairwell.

The case is also shocking for the investigators: the twelve-year-old is passed between her tormentors like a trophy. Blackmailed with the abuse films and constantly put under pressure, Anna-Sofia remained silent for months. The cell phone videos make your stomach turn. Up to eight perpetrators can be seen in them. They continue to abuse her, even though Anna-Sofia screams "Stop it!".

The girl's mother "investigates" the perpetrators
It was only after months of fear and shame that the girl finally confided in her mother. She "investigates" herself, searches for the alleged abusers on the internet - and finds the children's room gang smiling from soccer club websites or in "cool" videos on social media platforms such as Instagram or TikTok.

Yes, my client had sexual contact with the girl. But it was consensual. She contacted him and also pretended to be 14.

Anwalt Manfred Arbacher-Stöger

With a photo portfolio of the suspect, the mother of several children finally goes to the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, Southern Branch, and files a complaint. Then things move quickly. Investigators raided more than ten homes in a court search and confiscated at least four cell phones. However, none of the 17 suspected rapists are put behind bars. The public prosecutor's office apparently does not see sufficient grounds for arrest. The judiciary must now decide on further action and a possible indictment. As the suspects (all of whom are presumed innocent) are subject to juvenile criminal law, they only face half the maximum sentence for adults.
