Murder alert in Vienna
Woman killed in apartment in Vienna-Favoriten
A woman was found lifeless in an apartment in an apartment building in Vienna-Favoriten at 9.30 a.m. on Sunday. A suspect (39) has already been arrested.
When the police officers arrived at the residential address on the fifth floor of the cooperative building near the Amalienbad on Sunday morning, they found a man and a lifeless female.
It was too late to help the woman. "We were only able to determine that she was dead," explained a spokesperson for the Vienna Professional Rescue Service. It was not yet clear on Sunday who had called the police.
The woman had injuries to her neck which, according to police spokeswoman Julia Schick, indicated that she was not at fault. It was not yet clear exactly how the injuries came about. However, "a knife or similar sharp objects" could be ruled out. It was initially assumed that the woman had been strangled.
Interrogation underway
The 39-year-old Austrian citizen, who had been in a long-term relationship with the much older victim, was arrested. "His interrogation is still ongoing," said Schick. She expected his questioning to be completed in the course of the afternoon. It was not yet clear on Sunday whether there were any witnesses to the violent crime.
Partner arrested
Due to the injuries, a homicide must be assumed. The exact circumstances of the crime and the motive are still unclear. The Vienna State Office of Criminal Investigation has been entrusted with the comprehensive investigation.
