Perpetrator on the run – horror attack: fear of death in retirement home in Vienna

The attack is unusual, even for hardened criminals. The house ‘House of Life’ in the fourth district of Wieden, which is owned by the board of directors of the Vienna Pensioners’ Residences, became the scene of a crime scene.

Afraid of death for minutes
A 92-year-old woman who wanted to spend her peaceful retirement there found herself in the crosshairs of a predatory phantom. But on Tuesday evening around 6 p.m. the resident, who was still very fit mentally and physically, was subjected to sheer terror in her room for several minutes.

A previously unknown man attacked and injured the pensioners in their room. The victim had to be treated in hospital. The criminal fled with the jewelry she was wearing.

Investigations are underway
The Vienna State Criminal Investigation Department took over the investigation. However, these are difficult due to the lack of video surveillance or visitor control. In addition to an external intruder, other residents of the home are also targeted. It is also possible that there is a connection with an unsolved robbery-murder in May last year.

Investigators are investigating parallels with the robbery of pensioners
At that time, a 79-year-old single lady was also attacked, beaten and sexually assaulted by a ghost in her apartment. The pensioner called her daughter in a weak voice (“I was attacked”), after which the call ended. Five days after the horror crime, the victim died from his serious injuries. A bounty of no less than 50,000 euros is being offered to catch the murderer or provide relevant information.
