Murder Suspect in Vienna May Have Committed Third Act of Violence

The APA was confirmed by investigator circles of a corresponding report by the "Kronen Zeitung". Accordingly, videos of all three attacks are said to be stored on the murder suspect's confiscated phone.

The public prosecutor's office is investigating the 21-year-old, who is in pre-trial detention due to the risk of committing the crime, for murder and additionally for intentional grievous bodily harm. Investigations into other possible victims are ongoing.

Investigations into Other Possible Victims Ongoing

Regarding the homicide, the public prosecutor's office assumes that the 21-year-old acted with at least conditional intent to kill. The 27-year-old was found on the sidewalk with life-threatening head injuries on the night of May 15 and died two days later in a hospital. The suspect was arrested last Saturday after allegedly showing the video of the homicide to acquaintances. The law enforcement authorities became aware of this because an anonymous witness contacted the police. After his arrest, the 21-year-old confessed to the acts but denied the intent to kill.
