This was stated by a court spokesman. The detention court assumed there was a risk of the crime being committed and of obscuring the case. The next detention hearing will take place on June 25. Meanwhile, the man continued not to confess during questioning.
On Monday, investigators made another attempt to speak to the 42-year-old. “But nothing has changed,” said Philipp Rapold, deputy head of the Tyrol State Criminal Police Office (LKA). The man stuck to his version that he had gone to sleep that night and then found his mother dead. He called the police himself. When examining the body, however, 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.
Blunt force trauma
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 State Criminal Police Office said the injury could have been caused without one.
