Following the discovery of two bodies in an apartment in Vienna-Favoriten, the cause of death of the 30-year-old victim has been determined. According to the police, other people could have been involved in the act.
The 30-year-old was killed by severe blows to the head and upper body, said APA police spokesman Marco Jammer. The murder weapon was a hammer that was found in the Per Albin Hansson settlement apartment.
It was initially unknown how the alleged perpetrator died, mostly because the door to the apartment, which had apparently been open for days, still puzzled investigators.
Body found in Vienna-Favoriten: possible more suspects
“It is being investigated in all directions. At the moment, it cannot be completely ruled out that other suspects have been involved at the scene of the incident,” the spokesman said.
As it turned out during the investigation, the door to the apartment must have been open for a long time, apparently since the weekend. It wasn’t until Monday night that neighbors called the police.
The dead woman had no connection to the apartment.
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.
