Slashed upholstery, cut up pictures, absolute chaos: a homosexual couple found their home in Vienna-Floridsdorf completely destroyed. But what was behind the mysterious attack? 

It was around midnight on a Friday evening in February when Jochen H. unlocked the door to his cooperative apartment in Floridsdorf and knew immediately that something was wrong. He heard two strange male voices. "I surprised the perpetrators," he explains. When the police arrived, it quickly became clear that this was no ordinary burglary.
