The police are investigating after the discovery of two bodies in an apartment in Vienna-Landstraße. An 81-year-old man and his 79-year-old wife were found dead.
Because a man was unable to reach his relatives living in Vienna by phone and was very worried, he alerted the police on July 10. During the check, the officers found the couple dead in their apartment in Vienna-Landstraße.
