The 83-year-old man was found injured at the scene. The autopsy of the corpse of those killed by knife wounds should take place at the beginning of next week, police spokeswoman Manuela Weinkirn said on request. The woman was killed in an apartment in Stockerau with multiple knife wounds in the upper body. The 83-year-old, who is said to have attempted suicide, spoke of an “act of desperation”. The background may have been an illness of the partner. A 34 centimeter long kitchen knife, which was seized, is considered the murder weapon.
The accused was transported to Krems by emergency helicopter. He was arrested by order of the public prosecutor’s office in Korneuburg in the university hospital there.
