A daily newspaper reported this on Wednesday. The suspect, who was identified a month later, is still under investigation. No charges have yet been filed, as authority spokeswoman Nina Bussek said in response to an APA request. The Vienna public prosecutor’s office is still waiting for a report that should also provide information about the danger of the 23-year-old Algerian. The then 92-year-old made a statement. “There is a transcript from the lady,” Bussek said.
The man gained access to the elderly woman’s living unit at around 6 p.m. on October 11th, attacked the victim and pinned the elderly woman to the bed. A sexual assault is said to have occurred as a result. The perpetrator then ransacked the room for valuables and tore jewelry and the watch from the woman’s body in order to flee with the loot. A nurse found the injured woman and alerted the rescue team and the police.
Suspect was in Upper Austria
DNA traces at the crime scene then led to a prisoner in Upper Austria who has been there since October 18th for car break-ins. In the 23-year-old’s Linz accommodation, the officers were finally able to find various stolen goods, such as jewelry and electronic items, which could be assigned to crime scenes in Linz and Vienna. This also included the stolen jewelry belonging to the 92-year-old from Vienna. The man has so far confessed to the attack in the federal capital.
