In his apartment in Vienna-Favoriten, a 40-year-old man was reportedly strangled and threatened with a kitchen knife by another man on Sunday evening.
The background to the crime was apparently a friend's debt to the victim, in which the fugitive suspect wanted to "mediate," as stated in a police release on Monday.
