Horror in Kindberg in Upper Styria: a 14-year-old is said to have murdered his brother (36) - we reported. Now the first details of the investigation have emerged. The teenager confessed to the police that he had attacked his brother with an axe. The reason for the fatal attack was probably a long-simmering argument.

The tragic act took place in Kindberg on Monday afternoon. A 14-year-old had confessed to his sister over the phone that he had attacked his brother (36). She called the emergency services, who then found the 36-year-old dead in the family home. The emergency services then alerted the police at 1.30 pm. Due to the injuries - severe slash and stab wounds - it was immediately assumed that the attack had been violent. Several police patrols immediately went to the scene. At the same time, a manhunt was launched because the suspect had fled - the victim's 14-year-old brother.

Arrested with a decorative axe
However, it was not long before police officers from the Kapfenberg police station and a service dog patrol were able to arrest the boy near the scene of the crime. The suspected murder weapon - according to the police, an axe actually intended for decorative purposes - was found in his rucksack and seized.

When the emergency services arrived at the apartment, it quickly became clear from the serious injuries to the man's upper body that a violent crime must have taken place.

The alleged perpetrator was questioned in the presence of a lawyer on Tuesday night - according to the police, he made a full confession. According to the police, the teenager stated that he had attacked his brother with an axe due to a dispute that had been smouldering for some time and had finally killed him.

The public prosecutor's office in Leoben ordered an autopsy of the 36-year-old. The 14-year-old will be transferred to Leoben prison today. The suspect's confession is now being examined. The investigation is continuing

The perpetrator's family led an inconspicuous life
For tactical investigative reasons, the police do not want to go into further detail regarding the course of events and circumstances. Not much is known about the alleged perpetrator's family in Kindberg. All we hear from the neighbors is that they only moved to Mürzhofen a few years ago and that all family members led a rather inconspicuous life. Nobody knows any more details. But there is also said to be no history of violence. The family was not previously known to the police.
