Tragic incident in Matzendorf-Hölles: older woman dead, man seriously injured

In a tragic incident that occurred in Matzendorf-Hölles in the Wiener Neustadt district on Wednesday afternoon, an older woman was found dead. Her husband suffered serious injuries and had to be taken to the hospital immediately.

The incident happened between 4 and 5 p.m. in the couple's house. Stefan Pfandler, the head of the State Criminal Police Office (LKA), confirmed in a statement that a firearm was involved. Both people showed gunshot wounds. While emergency services were only able to find death in the older woman, the man was hospitalized with serious injuries.

Investigations take their run

The background of the incident is currently still unclear, although the LKA has already taken over the investigation. Pfandler explained that at the moment they can exclude a female, i.e. the killing of a woman by a man. Rather, it seems to be a desperate act that is further examined. The exact course remains to be seen, while the investigators shed light on all aspects of the case.

This incident raises questions that the authorities cannot yet answer. The investigation is still in full swing, and there are no further details available that would provide information about the motifs or the course of the tragedy. The police therefore ask for patience, while all tracks are carefully followed.
