New details known
After shooting in Vienna – 24-year-old also deceased
Following the terrible family drama in Vienna-Leopoldstadt, the 24-year-old daughter has now also died of her injuries in hospital. The 44-year-old father is said to have shot his wife of the same age, seriously injured his daughter and, as the autopsy has now confirmed, also shot himself afterwards.
Neighbors alerted the police on Tuesday evening. The arriving officers noticed the perpetrator in the street who, when they asked him to stop, pointed a gun at them and fired. A police officer returned fire, whereupon the 44-year-old fled in a white Mercedes and then stopped nearby. The 44-year-old was found dead in his car, the gun lying next to him.
Autopsy to provide information
The investigation into the bloody crime in Vienna-Leopoldstadt is continuing at full speed. The State Office of Criminal Investigation has taken over the securing of evidence and an autopsy of Nenad M. has now clarified that he shot himself.
Parents lived separately
A 26-year-old man - said to be the boyfriend of the 24-year-old woman - was also hit by bullets, but he was transferred to a normal ward shortly after the crime. The young woman's parents were separated and a divorce was imminent. According to the police, the Serbian wanted to get personal belongings from the apartment in Vorgartenstraße when the fight broke out. Three children - a newborn, a two-year-old and a 15-year-old - had to witness the bloody deed.
Firearm despite weapons ban
Despite an existing weapons ban, the 44-year-old had a firearm in his possession illegally. The daughter's boyfriend (26) has since been questioned. There are already indications of the motive for the crime: jealousy and the separation.
Charges dropped due to threats
The public prosecutor's office only commented on the case to the "Krone" newspaper on Friday. According to them, there had already been a charge of using a weapon against the suspect in the past, but this was ended with a diversion. In the case of the threat against the wife, she later made use of the right of exoneration, so the charges were also dropped here.
