In the case of the murdered Graz woman Stefi P., witnesses noticed an unknown man in the stairwell or in the vicinity of her apartment on the morning of the crime, according to police reports. Although the man is not suspected of being connected to the crime, he could be an important witness. Meanwhile, further shocking facts about the case have come to light.

According to the current state of the investigation, the wanted man is not connected to the crime, as the Styrian police expressly emphasize. However, he could be a valuable source of information for the investigators and may have made observations about the crime.

The police are now asking this unknown person to contact the Styrian investigators urgently on 059133/60 3333. Information on the identity of the person is also welcome.

New details: body packed in suitcase
Meanwhile, more shocking details about the influencer's violent death continue to emerge. Her suspected murderer - Patrick M., the victim's ex-boyfriend - is said to have confessed that he repeatedly took the trolley in which he had packed the 32-year-old's body from hiding places in Slovenian forests - and moved it to ever new locations. For two long days. Finally, he buried the suitcase near a cemetery - where his father had once been buried.

Beyond that, there were no further significant findings in the investigation into the case of the woman from Graz who was found in the suitcase on Saturday. The investigation into the burnt-out car of the woman's ex-boyfriend is still ongoing, according to the Graz public prosecutor's office.

32-year-old was strangled according to the autopsy
The autopsy results of the case have been available since Wednesday: The Styrian woman was killed "with massive use of force". She had hematomas on her neck - apparently caused by strangulation - as well as violence to her face and a single stab wound to her neck. However, the latter was not "fatal", said a spokeswoman for the public prosecutor's office. The weapon or tool that caused the wound has not yet been found.

Nevertheless, the suspect claims that he "did not want to kill Stefi" and that her fatal injuries were the result of an "accident". The suspected ex-boyfriend will be questioned for a few more days, the police said. He had stated during questioning that he was drunk at the time of the crime, the public prosecutor's office confirmed. He has already been remanded in custody.
