Pre-Trial Detention Imposed on 28-Year-Old Suspect

This was announced by the spokeswoman for the Vienna Regional Court, Christina Salzborn, to the APA. The reason given by the investigating judge was the risk of committing the offense. The 28-year-old did not provide any information during the hearing before the judge.

According to Salzborn, the suspect also retracted his previously contradictory statements made to the police. The victim of the crime was a 59-year-old Austrian. During further investigations in his close environment, the urgent suspicion against the 28-year-old was substantiated. According to media reports, the younger man allegedly owed money to the older man. This was not confirmed by the police. A forensic report revealed that the man died from strangulation.
