On Saturday, a 31-year-old woman in Vienna-Donaustadt is said to have killed her three young children: two girls (ages 3 and 9) and an eight-month-old boy. He contacted 911 after attempting suicide, which according to police caused minor injuries, where he had confessed to the crime of murder. He repeated his statements in the first interview. The first autopsy report was available on Sunday: The nine-year-old boy was suffocated with a pillow.
The other two children are also due to undergo an autopsy on the weekend. According to the police, it can be assumed that they too died from suffocation. The reason for the act may have been marital problems. The woman, who lived separated from her husband, will be questioned again on Sunday and then brought before the judge who will decide on custody. For the police, the incident has been resolved, said police spokesman Paul Eidenberger.
Psychological support for contact persons
The police officers who found the bodies received psychological care. This supervision was also planned for the classmates of the nine-year-olds.
The mother made the emergency call around 5:20 am Police rushed to the one-story apartment building near Kagraner Platz. Because the Nepalese woman announced when she called that she wanted to commit suicide, she was first immobilized by the first emergency services. When the apartment was searched, the boy and the three-year-old were found dead. In the case of the nine-year-old, who was still being rushed to hospital, there was apparently hope of resuscitating her. The helpers tried to revive the boy for about an hour, but in the end to no avail.
According to Eidenberger, the woman herself had injuries to the area of her hand that were not serious enough to have taken her to hospital. They were shallow cuts with a knife. A doctor evaluated the 31-year-old as capable of questioning and responsible.
Terrible news for the father of the three Viennese children murdered at work
Investigators brought the terrible news to the father at his workplace in a restaurant in the Alsergrund district. In the family, who had evidently lived in Austria for years, a violent argument with mutual assaults had broken out a few weeks ago, which ended with the 44-year-old’s expulsion. “The prohibition to enter and approach was imposed, which ended at the end of September and has not been extended to a temporary precautionary measure,” which the 31-year-old may have requested, the police spokesman said.
From the family environment it was reported that the woman should have been in a psychologically difficult situation since the child’s birth. There was a dispute with the 44-year-old man, apparently there was a separation or divorce in the room. The 31-year-old is said to have feared losing her children in this case. The man had not recently lived with his wife and children.
The Vienna Child and Youth Welfare Service “has known the family for two weeks when they received information about the eviction from the police,” announced its spokesperson Andrea Friemel when asked by the APA. In the case of evictions, what is known as risk assessment begins as a standard. “During this procedure, there were personal and telephone contacts with parents and children, as well as with the school and the Vienna Intervention Center against family violence. A risk to the children “was not foreseeable during the contacts.” Regarding the relationship conflict between the parents, the need for counseling was perceived, therefore counseling appointments were organized with the support of an interpreter. “Such a tragic act by the mother is shocking and unpredictable,” Friemel said.
