According to Haßlinger, the man had cuts that he probably inflicted on himself while carrying out the crime. He was only transferred to police custody on Saturday morning, where the questioning of the accused began. There was initially no information about the suspect’s responsibility or a possible motive because the man was being questioned.

Massive cuts and stab wounds

A real bloodbath must have taken place in the red light bar. The women who were killed had massive cuts and stab wounds, so it was clear to the emergency services as soon as they entered the crime scene that any medical help was coming too late for the victims. The crime took place in several rooms – the bodies were found in different rooms, said Haßlinger.

The fact that the victims were treated with extremely violent force is also reflected in the fact that their identities are still not clear. The police said investigations were ongoing in this regard.

The 27-year-old was probably the last visitor to the Asia Studio; according to the current state of the investigation, there are no witnesses to the bloody crime. It is still unclear whether the man used services there or immediately attacked the women with a knife. The police were alerted at 9 p.m. by a passer-by or neighbor who noticed a trail of blood stretching from the entrance area of ​​the bar to the opposite side of the street. There the emergency services came across the 27-year-old.

Holzleitner: Every third woman is affected by violence

SPÖ federal women’s leader Eva-Maria Holzleitner reacted to the recent murders of women with an appeal to the federal government – on Friday, four women who had been violently killed and a girl who had also been violently killed were found by the police in Vienna on a single day. In a broadcast, Holzleitner called for a crisis meeting and a national action plan to protect against violence: “We mourn the murdered women, are thinking about the survivors and call for a national action plan to protect against violence to finally be implemented in order to protect women’s lives in Austria.” Every third woman in Austria is affected by violence, the number of entry bans increases every year, and the number of femicides is the highest in Europe: “There is an urgent need for action.”

The aim of this National Action Plan for Violence Protection must be to “install a permanent crisis team from the Ministry of Justice, Women’s Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior together with the victim and violence protection institutions and, in addition, to set up violence protection clinics and regular multi-institutional nationwide risk conferences across the board,” said Holzleitner. The Istanbul Convention ratified by Austria must be taken seriously and the measures set out therein must be implemented. “Yesterday was a black day for women in Austria,” concluded Holzleitner.

In Austria, women who experience violence can find help and information at the women’s helpline at: 0800-222-555, www.frauenhelpline.at; at the Association of Autonomous Austrian Women’s Shelters (AÖF) at www.aoef.at; the Vienna Intervention Center against Violence in the Family/Violence Protection Center Vienna: www.interventionsstelle-wien.at and the 24-hour women’s emergency number of the City of Vienna: 01-71719 as well as the women’s shelter emergency number on 057722 and the Austrian Violence Protection Centers: 0800/700-217; Police emergency number: 133
