Murder alert in Vienna-Favoriten: On Sunday morning, a four-year-old boy was found dead in a council apartment. The mother and kindergarten assistant is said to have stabbed her son to death. She is urgently suspected of murder. The residents are stunned, she was actually "a very nice woman".
The four-year-old's father had previously called the emergency services. The 29-year-old mother is urgently suspected of stabbing her four-year-old son to death with a knife. According to witnesses, the father was standing in the stairwell covered in blood and crying when the officers arrived. He had previously tried to stop the mother from committing the terrible act.
Injured himself with a knife
The emergency doctor was only able to determine the death of the child. The child is believed to have succumbed to severe stab wounds and cuts. The mother is also said to have inflicted serious injuries with a knife. It is possible that the woman wanted to commit suicide after killing her son. She was provisionally arrested and taken to hospital.
According to witnesses, the couple was considered inconspicuous
