Police reported Tuesday after investigators were called to a crime scene in a large Vienna suburb on Monday night. The results of the autopsies were still pending.
Because the door to the apartment in Per Albin Hansson’s settlement was open, neighbors alerted police on Monday, spokesman Marco Jammer reported. Officials from the city police station found two dead around 7.15 pm The authorities initially described the circumstances as “serious death”, the State Criminal Police intervened and the bodies were transferred to forensic medicine for autopsy.
“According to initial investigations, the 33-year-old Austrian citizen is said to have killed the woman with blunt force,” Jammer said. “It is said that the 33-year-old man later committed suicide.” The State Criminal Police Office is conducting the investigation and is still working on the crime scene at the apartment in the spacious community building complex with about 14,000 residents, it said Tuesday morning. Only the antecedents of the act would be raised.
Hammer was the murder weapon
The 30-year-old died from severe blows to the head and upper body, said police spokesman Marco Jammer. The murder weapon was a hammer that was found in the apartment. How the alleged culprit died is initially unknown, especially since the door, which had apparently been open for days, remained a mystery to investigators.
“It is being investigated in all directions. At the moment, it cannot be completely ruled out that other suspects were involved in the incident,” the spokesman said. As it turned out during the investigation, the door to the apartment must have been open for some time, apparently since the weekend. It wasn’t until Monday night that neighbors called the police.
The victim, a 30-year-old Austrian citizen, was officially unrelated to the apartment. It has not yet been clarified in what relationship he was with the 33-year-old woman, Jammer said. The questioning of neighbors as possible witnesses has not yet been completed, nor has the “complex” crime scene functioned.
The alleged perpetrator was “officially known”, also for violent crimes, but according to the current state of knowledge, not in relation to domestic violence, the police spokesman reported. The results of the autopsy are only expected in the next few days.
Since the beginning of the year, 18 murders of women had already been banned in Austria, so the 30-year-old is the 19th victim of such an act, as many as in all of 2014. In addition, according to the count of the Autonomous Houses of Women in Austria, there were 22 cases at the end of September Attempted murder or severe violence.
