In the end, the younger of the two inmates was found dead on the floor.
State Criminal Police Investigating
The Steyr District Attorney’s Office confirmed on Monday evening that a murder investigation had been launched and that the State Criminal Police Office had been called in. It is still unclear what weapon was used, but it is believed to have been a knife-like object. The two men were housed in Garsten under so-called “compulsory treatment.” Although they were deemed mentally competent, they were considered dangerous due to a severe and chronic mental disorder.
Promise of a Full Investigation
“We are doing everything in our power to thoroughly investigate the events, taking all internal procedures into account. Our sincere condolences go out to the affected family and the bereaved,” the Ministry of Justice stated in an initial statement.
Similar Case in Klagenfurt
On September 1, a homicide also occurred at the Klagenfurt correctional facility. Early that morning, correctional officers found a 19-year-old man in a prison cell with his throat slit. Suspicion quickly fell on his 17-year-old cellmate.
There are said to have been repeated disputes between the two. The alleged perpetrator confessed to the crime. He is said to have first strangled the victim until he was unconscious and then slit his throat with a disposable razor blade.
