Deadly argument in Vienna-Hernals: Husband refuses statement by attack

In a dramatic incident that occurred in Vienna hernals on Friday morning, a 62-year-old woman was fatally injured. Her husband, who is suspected of attacking the woman with a branch on the balcony of her apartment and killing her, has so far not made a statement with the police. The investigation is ongoing and the 66-year-old man has already been transferred to a prison.

The tragedy started when neighbors heard screams from the apartment in Balderichgasse. The police alerted them and reported on the violent argument. When the emergency services arrived, she found the man who opened the door while the career rescue tried to reanimate the woman. Unfortunately, due to the serious injuries, she could not be saved and died at the scene.

Details on the attack and the history

During the incident, several witnesses are said to have observed the scene, which may play a decisive role in the ongoing investigation. The police and public prosecutors take the testimonies of the witnesses seriously in order to obtain a complete picture of the incident. The exact background of the attack and the motifs of the perpetrator are currently unclear, but it is known that he previously did not appear due to violence against his wife. There were no ban on entering or approaching.

The Vienna public prosecutor plans to make an application for custody during the day to ensure that the suspect remains custody during further investigations. Spokeswoman Nina Bussek confirmed this to the press and informed that the investigation is now being continued intensively.

This incident is not only shattering for the affected family, but also part of an alarming series of violent crimes. According to the Federal Criminal Police Office, 22 murders of women from men have already been registered this year, which inserts this act into a worrying context of gender -specific violence. There were a total of 23 murder cases in Austria throughout the last year.

The brutal execution of this act also raises questions of how such incidents can be prevented in the future. It remains to be seen which measures are taken to help and protect them victims of domestic violence.
