Mystery in Simmering: 70-year-old dead-ex-miters arrested

A shocking incident occurred in Vienna when the police discovered a 70-year-old man dead in his apartment on Thursday. The investigators immediately assumed a crime because the circumstances of his death indicated external fault. The officials quickly took up investigations and found the first information that indicated the victim's environment.

According to police spokeswoman Anna Gutt, the suspect, who comes from Afghanistan, lived in the pensioner's apartment for several years. The suspect is said to have inflicted the 70-year-old multiple stab wounds with a pointed object and is considered to be an urgent.

Investigations and suspect

The investigation showed that the serious injuries that the victim had suffered ultimately led to his death. During the first survey, the suspect stated that they were fundamentally confessed, but expressed “confused” statements that further worried the investigators. The police are planning to continue the interrogation in the coming days, with an interpreter being consulted for support.

The reason for the crime has so far been unclear and the police have started the investigation into the motive. However, it is known that concerned friends of the victim had called the police after having not heard from him for several days. On arrival in the apartment, the officials found the man with serious injuries, and the establishment of his death quickly followed. Due to the type of wounds, the investigators immediately suspected a crime verified.

The State Criminal Police Office Vienna has taken over the investigation to uncover the exact circumstances of the incident and to explore the motif behind this tragic act. For more information on this case See current reporting on www.puls24.at .
