It is difficult to imagine what a 51-year-old Viennese experienced on July 29, 2023 in the garage of a terraced house in the Danube city: his own father, an 86-year-old pensioner, suddenly held a loaded pistol with a cartridge in the barrel against the back of his head. And pulls the trigger.
Retired Ludwig D. lived in the cooperative house with his wife and adult son. The relationship is tense. “For about two years, the rift has progressed to such an extent that, in addition to exchanging all kinds of nastiness, they only talk to each other about the most essential matters,” according to the indictment by the Vienna Public Prosecution Service.
On Thursday, the 86-year-old will have to appear before the jury in Vienna’s Landl for attempted murder. According to the public prosecutor, it is pure coincidence that his son is still alive.
