Three Bodies Found in Bavaria: 37-Year-Old Turned Himself In in Linz

A 37-year-old suspect was arrested in Austria. A passerby informed the police in Linz on Sunday evening that a man was lying on the ground crying near the main train station. In the hospital, he later said he had killed three people. He is to be extradited to Germany.

After police officers apprehended the native Slovak with residence in Bavaria at the Linz main train station on Sunday around 10:00 PM, he was admitted to the Neuromed Campus of the Linz Kepler University Hospital due to his mental state, reported a spokeswoman for the Upper Austria State Police Directorate. There, he later repeatedly stated that they should check his home, as he had killed three people. The Bavarian colleagues were then contacted, who actually found three bodies during the check, the police spokesman in Linz further stated. The suspect is now awaiting extradition to Germany.

Two of the three dead found in a house in Lower Bavarian Zwiesel are a 22-year-old woman and a 56-year-old man. The third person has not yet been identified, said a spokeswoman for the Lower Bavaria Police Headquarters. However, it is not a child.

Perpetrator lived with at least two victims in one house

Both the previously identified victims and the suspect all lived in the multi-family house; whether in the same apartment remains initially unclear. The relationship between the parties involved and the motive of the alleged perpetrator also remained initially unclear. There were initially no details about the circumstances of death and the time of the crime.

"There is really very little that can be said for sure," explained the police spokeswoman. The house is currently cordoned off, and forensic teams are on the way.

The visually rundown building is known in the community as a "problem house," according to "Passauer Neue Presse," where alcohol-related disputes and altercations as well as disturbances of the peace frequently occurred.
