Lifelong imprisonment for cruel murder of 91-year-old in Floridsdorf!

In a shattering case of violence and cruelty, a man was sentenced to life imprisonment after he had stood up to kill and rap a 91-year-old woman in her own home. The process and the perpetrator's avoidable procedure caused a sensation in Vienna. The accused accepted the judgment and would like to serve his punishment in Austria. As Nachrichten he was reported in accordance with § 21 paragraph 2 of the Criminal Code forensic-therapeutic center.

The background is just as frightening as the deed itself. The perpetrator committed a homicide at the age of 20, in which he had thrown a man into a well and got a twelve -year prison sentence. After his release, he returned to Austria in 2008, where he was sentenced to 13 years in prison for raids on several women, including a 95-year-old who lost her eyesight on one eye. He was last released in Slovakia in January 2024 and came back to Vienna four months later, where he searched for victims again. He had chosen allotment garden settlements in order to be able to strike undisturbed.

The cruel deed

The accused planned the raid on the 91-year-old after watching her for some time. In a perfidious approach, he broke into her house with a pliers and inflamed fire as he attacked her in the bedroom. When the woman started screaming, he suffocated her and also committed abuse. In the end, he took 150 euros and two rings of the killed. Thanks to fingerprints and DNA traces, it could be identified quickly.

On September 21, he was arrested in Slovakia and delivered to Austria in October. A psychiatric report showed that the perpetrator suffers from a dissocial personality disorder and is considered very dangerous. The judgment of the public prosecutor's office was therefore clear that it applied for his accommodation in a forensic-therapeutic center.

crime statistics in change

The horror message around this case underlines the challenges with which the Austrian society is faced with crime. The police criminal statistics (PKS) records and analyzes the development of criminal events in order to enable well -founded planning of criminal police measures. The Federal Criminal Police Office indicates that the PKS has been electronically registered since 2001 and uses the effective combating of crime.

These and similar incidents help to question the trust of the population in security. The PKS not only provides numbers, but also allows conclusions to be drawn about social phenomena. It remains to be hoped that such tragic events will at least lead to better understanding the recurring patterns of the offenders and take appropriate preventive measures.
