Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Just last Tuesday, children in Vöcklabruck, Upper Austria, made a gruesome discovery: They found the body of a 53-year-old woman on the riverbank, which showed multiple stab wounds. Then, on Thursday, another suspected murder of a woman took place in Graz—it is already the 22nd femicide in Austria this year.
Around noon, police received a call reporting a violent incident at an apartment in the city center. Shortly thereafter, a 24-year-old woman was found lifeless.
No one noticed anything about the incident
A 23-year-old suspect was arrested by SIG officers in the stairwell. According to eyewitnesses, he was completely covered in blood. No one had noticed anything about the crime itself—no screams or gunshots were heard. Yet the area around Graz’s Bischofplatz is bustling, with outdoor dining areas on every corner. The police emphasize that there was no danger to the public at any time.
The sequence of events and the weapon used remain unknown, as does the suspect’s motive. The police are remaining tight-lipped for tactical reasons related to the investigation. “We can’t say much about the motive yet,” said police spokesperson Sabri Yorgun, asking for patience. However, one thing is certain: “The suspect is believed to be from the victim’s family circle.”
The two—the victim and the alleged perpetrator—were likely alone in the apartment at the time of the crime. Investigators arrived to collect evidence, and an interrogation of the suspect is expected to yield additional information about the circumstances.
And as if the bloody crime in the heart of downtown hadn’t already alarmed enough passersby, there was also an emergency response at the construction site next door due to a suspicious object. Fortunately, the all-clear was given after 30 minutes.
