Despite the sunshine, a deep shadow hangs over the small community of Muckendorf-Wipfing in the district of Tulln (Lower Austria): Three people have died.

The first person involved in the terrible murder drama was an acquaintance of Nicole, the dead mother. As the 29-year-old had not turned up at her workplace, the woman is said to have contacted the father of the two girls, who had a key to the house.

He is said to have discovered the three bodies in a bedroom on the upper floor: The mother of two and her daughters, an eight-year-old girl and a five-year-old girl, were lying lifeless on the floor.

While relatives were looked after by the crisis intervention team next to the garage, the question of the motive remained unanswered. Rumor has it that there was a dispute between the mother Nicole and the children's father.

"Our crime scene investigators are working at full speed to clarify the background to this bloody crime. It is still too early to give a precise account of the horrific course of events," says Stefan Pfandler from the Lower Austrian State Criminal Police Office.

Horrifying parallel to the quintuple murder of a mother
If we flash back to 2016 in nearby Schildberg, a horror case has a gruesomely bloody parallel to the current family drama. There, a woman wiped out her family.

The mother of three shot her daughter (6), her sons (7 and 9 years old) and her brother (40) with a handgun in an abandoned inn before lying down in the bed of her mother, who was in need of care, and then killing her too. The woman then executed herself. She took the motive with her to her grave.
