The main suspect spoke of an accident – only later was the body found
After months of monitoring the suspects, they were arrested last June. Several days ago, the 55-year-old main suspect admitted to having an accident and hiding the deadN. His brother’s apartment in Innsbruck was later searched and his body was found.
The prosecutor’s office does not assume there was an accident, but rather murder. A spokesperson for the judicial authority did not provide any information about a possible motive. He said only that there was a friendship between the Syrian woman and the 55-year-old man, “which he described as difficult.”
According to police, it is still unclear how the woman and her daughter were killed. It was said that because the freezer was not used during pretrial detention, the body had badly decomposed. The two suspects have not confessed. (jaw/dpa)
