Woman's body discovered
Police shoot man armed with hammer
A relationship dispute in Vienna-Floridsdorf has apparently ended in a brutal act. A man killed his girlfriend (22) with an axe - when he attacked police officers, he was shot dead.
There was a storm of blue lights in Floridsdorf on Tuesday evening at around 9 pm. Several police cars and ambulances raced to Schwaigergasse. This is where the bloody evening had its tragic beginning with a gruesome murder of a woman in an apartment: A Chilean woman (22) had been brutally killed with an axe by her Romanian boyfriend, who was already on record for violent crimes. When the alerted police arrived, the suspected 26-year-old perpetrator was also threatening the uniformed officers on the street with his axe.
Suspect did not stop despite being asked to do so
As the man apparently started to run amok towards the police and emergency services and did not stop despite being asked to do so, one of the officers shot him. According to initial reports, the suspect died of the gunshot wound at the scene and the police officer was also injured.
While a helicopter circled over the crime scene, the helpers took care of shocked neighbors. The area was cordoned off in order to be able to carry out the crime scene work properly. Criminologists began their painstaking investigation into the motive during the night.
