After the terrible bloody crime on Thursday, in which a 42-year-old man in the district of Melk in Lower Austria allegedly killed his stepfather, the suspect has now been questioned by the police. After the man refused to talk at first, he now confessed to the crime. But the suspect not only revealed the motive for the murder, other bizarre details also came to light.
After the interrogation of the alleged killer, who shot his mother’s 62-year-old partner in Pielach near Melk (Lower Austria), the motive for the bloody act is now clear. The 42-year-old, who is presumed innocent, testified that he was “jealous of his mother’s partner”. His biological father had died years before.
Son had contact with conspiracy theorists
In addition, the criminals established that the suspect had contacts with conspiracy theorists and that he had illegally possessed the weapon. Bizarrely, the shooter, who seemed quite confused, also stated that he had not considered the Cobra mission real, but had assumed an attack by “artificial intelligence”.
The man is suspected of having shot his mother’s partner in a family home on Thursday evening. The police were alerted around 7 p.m. by the mother of the suspect via an emergency call to the object in the cadastral community of Melk in Pielach. Officials removed the 62-year-old from the ground floor of the home and handed him over to rescuers. However, the man succumbed to his injuries on the spot.
Accused injured after gunfire
The suspect then hid in the attic of the building. Hours later, shots were fired. According to police information from Saturday, during this phase of the negotiations, the man suddenly fired several times at members of the Cobra task force. As a result, the officers fired shots at the 42-year-old – “in clear self-defense”, as the executive stressed.
The 42-year-old was arrested and taken to hospital with minor injuries. He may have suffered an abrasion in the chest area.
The suspect had illegal possession of the murder weapon
The course of the shooting was reconstructed on Friday by agents of the national criminal investigation department of Lower Austria in collaboration with specialists from the federal criminal investigation department. The weapon found and seized in the family’s home has now been assigned to the suspect. He owned them illegally.
Media reports have confirmed that the 42-year-old has an apartment in Vienna. According to APA information, the man probably stayed again and again in the single-family home in the cadastral community of Melk Pielach.
