The case of Upper Austrian doctor Lisa-Maria Kellermayr, who committed suicide at the end of July 2022 after receiving threatening and hate emails, moves from the Wels public prosecutor’s office to the Vienna public prosecutor’s office. The background is that there are several victims who could have been threatened by the same perpetrator, including a Viennese couple.
Lisa-Maria Kellermayr had been receiving threats via email and social media for months – probably from the anti-vaccination world. She repeatedly complained that she felt insufficiently protected by the authorities. She closed her practice in the summer of 2022 for safety reasons. A few weeks later she took her own life. Most recently, there was an investigation into the threats at the Wels public prosecutor’s office and the Munich public prosecutor’s office.
Speech patterns analyzed
The fact that the Welsh Public Prosecution Service now wants to transfer the proceedings to their Viennese colleagues may have something to do with the fact that there are other victims who could have been threatened by the same perpetrator. Hate mail was allegedly sent to a lawyer from Würzburg, a northern German doctor and a Viennese couple. According to media reports, a linguist used the language patterns to confirm that the emails to all these people came from the same author.
Police protection for Viennese couple
The Viennese couple consists of authors and activists Veronika and Sebastian Bohrn Mena, the latter confirmed to the APA. He also described that he had received police protection during the acute phase. Nina Bussek, spokeswoman for the Vienna public prosecutor’s office, confirmed that the procedure had been postponed. “However, we are looking to see if we also see jurisdiction.” The Wels public prosecutor’s office confirmed the procedure in response to a ‘Krone’ request.
