Vienna: 13-year-old Leonie murdered by two Afghan asylum seekers

As “Heute.at” already reported, passers-by discovered a lifeless 13-year-old girl in the street Erzherzog-Karl-Straße in the Vienna district of Donaustadt on June 26. All attempts to resuscitate the girl were unsuccessful.

In the course of the police investigation, it was determined that the possibility of third-party responsibility could not be ruled out. The post-mortem examination revealed death by suffocation. The victim also showed numerous haematomas and bruises. Since then, the Vienna State Criminal Police Office has been investigating at full speed.

Witness statements led to the arrest of two suspects. In the afternoon hours, the Vienna Provincial Criminal Police Office, in cooperation with officers of the task force for combating street crime, were able to provisionally arrest two male suspects.

According to the police, the suspects were two young men from Afghanistan aged 16 and 18. The suspects will be questioned on Tuesday.

The 13-year-old attended a secondary school in the Tulln area, attended grade 2. “She was not a model pupil, was always absent, stayed away from lessons,” said a former teacher/guardian. It is unclear how the 13-year-old was related to the two suspects.
