Austria: Execution according to Sharia law in Vienna underground station – man chopped off arms and legs in front of passengers

The victim’s hands and feet completely or partially chopped off: The new details on the machete murder at the U6 station in Vienna-Brigittenau point to a punishment according to Islamic Sharia law. Is that why the police are so silent about the background?

The victim in the murder with machetes – an Algerian (31) – was slaughtered at the U6 underground station nine days ago – eXXpress reported. Five or six, according to eyewitnesses even up to ten men, allegedly intercepted the later victim in the station, chased him down the escalator and killed him in front of the entrance. Two perpetrators with machetes allegedly partially severed the Algerian’s hands and feet while he was still alive, oe24 reported.

Due to the high blood loss, the victim died a little later in a hospital. One of the alleged attackers – also an Algerian (24) – fled when the police arrived and jumped into the Danube Canal. The officers caught him, the suspect denies: “I wasn’t there, I don’t know the victim”.

The police did not release any details about the crime, which not only frightens the population in Brigittenau. They refrained from publishing mugshots. While this is always considered appropriate for small cash machine thieves, it does not seem to be the case for a brutal gang presumably from the drug milieu. To this day, the suspects walk around Vienna unmolested.

Or do other reasons play a role in the secretiveness of the police? Do they not want to say anything because this would lead to an outcry among the population?

The crime is fatally reminiscent of methods that repeatedly cause severe criticism of outdated legal practice. Most recently, the public chopping off of the right hand and left foot of a thief in Somalia caused an international stir.

The type of punishment for thieves is deposited in Sura 5:38 in the Koran as a “warning from Allah”, but it is not applied in modern Islam. In Islamist circles with a harsh interpretation of the law (Sharia), however, it is. For serial offenders, in addition to the possibility of chopping off the right hand, there is also that of cutting off the left foot.

Was a gang member punished at the U6 underground station who deceived and stole from his accomplices several times?

The police do not comment on this either.
