This indictment from the Viennese public prosecutor’s office resembles a horror script: a woman is said to have undergone a martyrdom of rape, electric shocks and death threats in Vienna-Meidling from July 9 to 11. Her tormentor allegedly tied her hands and legs with cable ties.
The Public Prosecution Service outlines the hellish torment that the victim had to endure. After separating from her partner, a 33-year-old wanted to get her belongings from his apartment in Meidling. When the woman took a bag from the box, her ex brought her to the ground.
Carried to the toilet in chains by her tormentor
According to the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office, he gave her electric shocks in her hips and neck: “The suspect then tied the victim’s hands in front of her body with cable ties and also tied her legs and connected these ties together so that the victim lay on her side on the bed in a fetal position.”, says the oppressive letter from the Public Prosecution Service.
Mrs. P. is said to have been held in this position in Manuel E.’s apartment for three days and two nights. “He taped her mouth shut, but made a cut in it so the victim could breathe easier,” the prosecutor said.
So the woman was completely at the mercy of her tormentor. E. is said to have raped and beaten her several times in captivity – photos document the injuries. He carried her to the toilet to use the toilet. During the night the man tied his victim to him. There is also talk of death threats with a blank pistol, which he held in her mouth, and a samurai knife.
Suspect speaks of consensual sadomasochistic sex
On the third day of the ordeal, P. was able to free himself from the apartment when the 31-year-old went shopping. Legal expert Peter Hofmann sees actions that are equivalent to torture. He diagnosed the Viennese with paranoid schizophrenia and advocated that he be sent to a forensic therapeutic center, where the suspect is already temporarily housed. However, the man was mentally healthy at the time of the crime.
Trial at the Vienna Regional Court
E. presents the incident very differently: they had consensual sex with SM practices, he says in the police interrogation. “My client is not guilty. He only knew late that his girlfriend was working as a prostitute and clearly feigned love for him for money,” said his lawyer Rudolf Mayer. She worked in luxury establishments in Vienna and Salzburg. A trial date at the Vienna Regional Criminal Court is still pending.
