Neighbors hear screams
Man beats woman on balcony – she dies
Murder alert in Vienna-Hernals: A 62-year-old woman is said to have been attacked on the balcony of her apartment. All help came too late for her. The attacker - the husband (66) - was arrested.
According to the "Krone" newspaper, the suspect (66) is the victim's husband, a pensioner from Vienna. He is said to have maltreated his wife with blows and is in custody.
Wooden stick as a weapon
Neighbors had raised the alarm after hearing screams from the loggia of the apartment in Balderichgasse in Vienna's 17th district and observing someone beating a person there, presumably with a wooden stick.
When the police arrived at the apartment at around 9.40 a.m., the Austrian opened the door on his own.
Resuscitation unsuccessful
The professional rescuers tried to resuscitate the woman. "However, there was nothing more we could do for her," explained a spokesperson. All help came too late for her. The suspect was arrested without resistance.
The interrogation is still pending. Whether the man was already known to the police is also still under investigation, as spokesman Mattias Schuster explained.
If the suspicion of murder is confirmed, the crime would be the 20th murder of a woman in Austria this year.
