Seniors in sight: crimes against older people shock Vienna!

In a shocking series of incidents in Austria, two older women became victims of serious crimes. The first incident occurred in Marchtrenk, where an unknown perpetrator attacked an 85-year-old in her own home. As OE24.at , the older ladies were shaken in their security. The man robbed the resident three golden rings and one watch before he sexually asserted her and then locked it up in her own room. The attack had devastating effects on the health of the senior citizen, who died a few months later from the consequences of her traumatization. The perpetrator is now on trial where he has to expect a penalty of 13 years, which is not yet final.

Both incidents throw a bright light on the dangers of older people in our society. While the police in Marchtrenk are looking for clues to grasp the perpetrator, the trial of the Algerier remains a dark chapter that heavily burdens the affected and their relatives. Such crimes not only demand physical damage, but also lead to profound mental wounds in the victims.
