In the knife murder of the mother (28) of three in Vienna’s Ottakring district, evidence is mounting that she had to die because she wanted to separate from her long-term partner (35). A final discussion resulted in the bloody crime and the perpetrator’s suicide attempt.
The murder victim from the heavily contested region of Qamishli in north-eastern Syria had been living in Austria with her children (3,6,10) for more than two years. According to investigations so far, the father first arrived in Austria a month ago and had been staying in Vienna for the past weeks. It is not yet clear whether he came specifically because his partner wanted to separate from him or whether he possibly only found out after his arrival.
The two are said to have arranged a meeting on Monday. The mother asked a relative to take the three children for a walk. She did so. During the tragedy at Brunnenmarkt, the girl (3) and the two boys (6, 10) were in the care of an aunt in a nearby park.
During these minutes, the situation in the flat of the mother of three came to a dramatic head. It was said to be about a planned separation. The Syrian could not understand that the young woman did not want to return to her old life with its traditional values. Suddenly, the Syrian grabbed a knife and stabbed his victim several times. In her death throes, the young woman is said to have called her parents desperately and pleaded for help: “Come quickly, he has a knife.”
But all rescue came too late, the young Syrian woman bled to death. In his hopeless situation, the perpetrator apparently saw no other way out than to commit suicide. He jumped down from the third floor and was discovered by passers-by. He is in intensive care suffering from life-threatening injuries.
