The body has stab and cut wounds on the arms and hands, which indicate a defensive struggle. The identity is still unclear.
Construction workers found a plastic bag in a basement in Vienna-Margareten on Tuesday which contained a headless corpse. It is now clear that it is a man who was killed. The state police headquarters confirmed corresponding media reports on Friday. “The person died due to external influence,” explained spokeswoman Julia Schick.
The body had, among other things, stab and cut injuries on the arms and hands from a possible defensive fight, said Schick. However, the identity is still unclear. The investigation into this is still ongoing. Where the injuries came from and which murder weapon was used is still unclear, explained Schick. In any case, there are several wounds all over the body. However, Schick initially did not want to confirm reports that the body parts in the plastic bag had been lying under rubble in the basement compartment in the house on Hundsturm for around a year. Clarifying the time of death and the circumstances are currently the subject of investigations, said the spokeswoman.
The men were busy with renovation work in the apartment building on Tuesday. In the course of this, they carried out preparatory excavations for concreting in an open basement compartment, where they came across the black bag. Because he smelled a pungent smell, they alerted the police. The officers opened the plastic bag and found the dead man. (APA)
