Horror scenes in Graz
Knife attack at the cemetery: woman fights for her life
Horrific scenes took place on Wednesday afternoon at the Leonhard cemetery in Graz: a previously unknown man is suspected of having inflicted multiple cuts to the face and neck of a 73-year-old woman. The perpetrator is still on the run and the investigation is in full swing. The woman from Graz is probably a random victim.
The woman from Graz was at the grave of her deceased husband at around 4.40 pm. An as yet unknown perpetrator suddenly attacked the woman and inflicted multiple injuries, presumably with a Stanley knife. Two passers-by found the seriously injured woman and called the emergency services. The ambulance transported the woman from Graz to Graz Regional Hospital with life-threatening injuries. The woman had to undergo emergency surgery in the early evening.
According to the police, there were no direct witnesses to the attack. There are also no surveillance cameras at the cemetery, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the largest hospital in Styria, the LKH University Hospital.
Graz woman was a random victim
Several police patrols searched for the fugitive perpetrator. However, the search has so far been unsuccessful due to the lack of information about the perpetrator. According to investigations so far, the man is unlikely to have come from the woman's social circle, so she was probably a random victim.
The Styrian State Office of Criminal Investigation has started an investigation into the suspected attempted murder and is asking possible witnesses for help. At present, neither a possible motive for the crime nor any concrete evidence to identify a perpetrator is known.
Witnesses can contact the Styrian Criminal Police Office at any time on 059-133-60-3333 or 133.
The victim is currently receiving intensive medical treatment. The 73-year-old's condition is stable. It has not yet been possible to interview the Graz woman due to her state of health.
