Leonie case: extradition of a suspect is delayed

Three and a half weeks ago, a court in London granted the extradition of a now 23-year-old Afghan who is said to have been involved in the death of a 13-year-old who died on June 26, 2021 in Vienna-Donaustadt. In this context, the Vienna public prosecutor is investigating a total of four Afghans for rape resulting in death. However, the delivery of the second oldest will be delayed.

“The accused has lodged an appeal against the extradition decision,” said the spokeswoman for the Vienna public prosecutor’s office, Nina Bussek, on Friday at the APA request. When a decision on the submission can be expected was not foreseeable for the time being. “We don’t have any further information at the moment,” said Bussek. The three other accused between the ages of 16 and 23 – two are in custody in Vienna, another in prison due to a conviction for other offenses – will continue to be investigated. They were arrested shortly after the body was found, while the alleged fourth person involved fled from Austria and fled across Europe to England. At the end of July, his handcuffs clicked in a hotel.

What happened?

According to investigations so far, the 13-year-old from the Lower Austrian district of Tulln met the youngest suspect on Vienna’s Danube Canal on June 25, where she is said to have been administered ecstasy. Then she is said to have been brought by the alleged 16-year-old to the apartment of an 18-year-old. There, the girl was allegedly given more drugs. At least two of the four suspects are said to have raped her.

When the 13-year-old lost consciousness, the men got nervous. They are said to have given her milk and yoghurt and held her under a shower. But the young teenager showed no more signs of life. They are said to have wrapped the girl in a carpet and leaned against a tree on a green strip. Passersby discovered the body the next morning.
