The man was now in the Innsbruck prison. A decision has not yet been made on whether to remand him in custody, said Philipp Rapold, deputy head of the State Criminal Police Office (LKA). On Monday, investigators made another attempt to speak to the 42-year-old. “But nothing has changed,” said Rapold. The man insisted that he had gone to sleep that night and then found his mother dead. He called the police himself.

Violence against skull and neck
However, when examining the body, an emergency doctor found suspicious injuries. The heavily intoxicated son was arrested on the spot. The 69-year-old had most recently been living in her son’s apartment. She was in need of care, and the 42-year-old had looked after her.
An autopsy carried out on Monday revealed that the woman had died as a result of “blunt force trauma to the skull or violence to the neck.” No murder weapon was found. However, the LKA said the injury could have been caused without one.
