Terrible realization for a horse lover in Vienna: Her mare “Engerl” was badly abused by a man!
“My ‘Engerl’ (my mare) was sexually abused on August 10, 2020 from 10:15 p.m. to 10:33 p.m. in our stable in Vienna Freudenau”, Marion S. writes on Facebook. “The injuries she sustained as a result are life-threatening.” The cruel act can be narrowed down so precisely because the horse owner had installed cameras in the stable to monitor the animals’ wellbeing.
Suspect caught
“Of course I immediately called the police and drove to the stable,” the woman told the “Krone”. The alleged perpetrator had already disappeared at this point. According to the description in the Facebook posting, the man should be between 180 and 185 centimeters tall and have a “very sluggish gait”. He was therefore dressed in a tank top and short running shorts. “He got in through the stall window and left the stall through the stall door,” says Marion S.
As reported by the “Krone”, the police caught a suspect on Sunday night. According to the report, he is said to have given himself away by the sound of the pit door. He was caught trying to escape through a window.
“Engerl” is taken – both mentally and physically. “She is currently stable and continues to be treated with medication. But she is scared,” Marion S told the “Krone”. The injuries cannot be treated surgically because the area is too large and dangerous. “Engerl and I are fighters and send us positive energy, we need it urgently,” writes the animal lover on Facebook.
