As reported, an expert opinion has now established that the alleged 16-year-old Afghan suspect who claimed to the police that he was the boyfriend of the murdered schoolgirl is at least 19, if not 20 years old. Ali H. had arrived in Austria a few months ago as part of a family reunion, where his mother and sister already were living. He is one of a total of four men currently suspected by the police of having drugged and brutally raped the schoolgirl at the end of June. She eventually died as a result. The scene of the crime is said to be the social flat of an 18-year-old Afghan in the Donaustadt district of Vienna. And there are also reasonable doubts about his age.
He had also arrived in Austria as an unaccompanied minor refugee, which gives him special protection status. However, he had long since forfeited this status after several previous convictions and was already facing deportation. His last job was as a kitchen assistant in a pizza parlour. A neighbour told eXXpress very early on that he thought it was impossible that the Afghan had just reached the age of majority: “I would have estimated him to be 28, not 18. And on photos in social media, the man also looks much older. The police are still searching for a fourth suspect. He is said to have absconded abroad.
