Elsewhere in the Austrian capital, a mother and her daughter were killed. It appears to be two separate matters with no connection.
27 year old suspect
The brothel where the women were stabbed to death is located in the Brigittenau district. The police report that a real massacre has taken place. The women suffered a large number of stab and cut wounds. They were so badly damaged that identification was not immediately possible.
A 27-year-old man was arrested not far from the brothel. He was in possession of a knife believed to have been used in the crime. According to a police spokesperson, he behaved aggressively during his arrest.
He is being held on suspicion of murder and is being interrogated. According to the APA news agency, nothing is known about a possible motive.
The 51-year-old mother and her daughter (13) were found in an apartment in the city. According to police, they may have been suffocated or strangled. According to APA, the girl’s father is the main suspect. He is wanted.
Motive unknown
It is not yet clear what the motive for the murders is. The mother of the 51-year-old woman had contacted the police on Friday because she had lost contact with her daughter and granddaughter.
Women’s rights organizations are very concerned about violence against women in the Austrian capital. They demand that the authorities intervene urgently.
