Murder alert in Vienna-Favoriten: On Sunday morning, a four-year-old boy was found dead in a council apartment. The mother and kindergarten assistant is said to have stabbed her son to death. She is urgently suspected of murder. The residents are stunned, she was actually "a very nice woman".

The four-year-old's father had previously called the emergency services. The 29-year-old mother is urgently suspected of stabbing her four-year-old son to death with a knife.

Injured himself with a knife
The emergency doctor was only able to determine the death of the child. The child is believed to have succumbed to severe stab wounds and cuts. The mother is also said to have inflicted serious injuries with a knife. It is possible that the woman wanted to commit suicide after killing her son. She was provisionally arrested and taken to hospital.

According to witnesses, the couple was considered inconspicuous
The residents who know the young woman are stunned: "I don't know if I can continue to live here now that this has happened," Klaudija (pictured below), who is herself a mother of three, told the "Krone" newspaper.

Telephone counseling

The mother suspected of the murder worked as a kindergarten assistant and the father worked as a shift worker. She was actually "a very nice blonde woman with glasses" and had occasionally given the neighbors parenting tips. The neighbors had met more often so that the children could play together.

According to another witness, there was never any talk of arguments - the boy was "her everything". They watched in tears as the small coffin was taken away from the crime scene. "Maybe it was an accident after all," hoped another resident. The Vienna State Office of Criminal Investigation has taken over the investigation.
