The 35-year-old tobacconist’s 47-year-old ex-boyfriend is said to have walked into his store in the Viennese Alsergrund district around 11:45 a.m. and doused the victim with a flammable liquid, probably gasoline according to police – and set it on fire. . The 35-year-old was seriously injured and was in mortal danger yesterday. Despite his critical condition, he was still able to name the assassin. As a result, a large-scale persecution of the Austrian citizen began in Vienna.
At first, this was unsuccessful. The 47-year-old man dialed the emergency number himself in the late afternoon and announced his whereabouts to the police. Wega officials found the man at Lobau in the Danube city, where the suspect was arrested without resistance. At the time of going to press yesterday it was not known whether he had made a confession.
The scenes that took place in Nussdorfer Strasse were terrible. The burning woman ran away. Coincidentally, paramedics from the Samaritan Association were there. They came to the rescue immediately and were able to douse the flames with blankets. Meanwhile, the professional rescue team arrived at the scene.
Thick smoke emanated from the store. The seriously injured woman was stabilized and taken to hospital. The Viennese executive launched a great persecution. Because the 35-year-old could not be questioned yesterday, the background to yesterday’s fire attack was still unclear. The police were interviewing witnesses.
It wasn’t until February 23 that a 28-year-old woman was attacked with a knife by her boyfriend in Vienna’s Favoriten district and was finally strangled. In this case, the authorities and police were criticized for being “too lax” with the man. Because the defendant was officially known for violent crimes and the police had been called the day before the murder because the couple had had a heated argument in which the 28-year-old was slightly injured.
According to the investigating authorities, a 74-year-old man murdered his 72-year-old wife in Aschach an der Steyr at the end of January. The act was particularly brutal because the woman had been stabbed numerous times and was bleeding to death in her bedroom. The husband, who made a failed suicide attempt after the bloody act, confessed. The 74-year-old man named his wife’s “long-standing hatred” as a motive.
Aschacher remains in detention.
The 74-year-old is still being held in Garsten Prison. The Steyr prosecutor said on Friday that the Steyr prosecutor was awaiting both the final report from the criminal police and the psychiatric report on the question of the responsibility of the defendants.
