Mysterious procedure of the criminologists after the murder of a mother of three (35) and one of her children (15) in the Vienna district of Mariahilf: The Tunisian man (49) suspected of the crime is now being searched for worldwide, but no photo is given to the media to support this search.
This crime quickly vanished from the headlines of Austria’s mainstream media when the identity of the suspect became known: A Tunisian (49), who has a valid residence permit for Vienna, is strongly suspected of having strangled his partner (35) and their eldest child (15) in their flat in the Mariahilf district of Vienna. The Tunisian, who is presumed innocent, has been on the run since the crime the previous week. Two of the woman’s sons – aged seven and nine – are now orphans.
Police sources have now told eXXpress that a worldwide manhunt has now been launched against the fugitive suspect. However: On whose instructions no picture of the suspected perpetrator may be released to the media, although this would of course help considerably in finding out his whereabouts. This means: For reasons unknown so far, the perpetrator is given a greater chance to go into hiding or to abscond to his home country.
“This is a really mysterious approach by the police,” a long-standing intelligence expert said in an interview with eXXpress. For him, there are only two reasons why the picture and the name of the suspect must not be made public: “Either the Tunisian is an employee or a liaison to an intelligence service – or the case is politically explosive because the suspect is prominent in Tunisia and a scandal is to be avoided.”
In any case, without the publication of the photo and the name of the suspected double murderer, he has good prospects of being able to leave Europe unhindered.
