After a fisherman fished a human lower leg out of the Marchfeld Canal on Saturday, other body parts have now been discovered. It is still unclear who the dead man is. crown.tv was there.
It was only the second fishing throw of the season for the Viennese on Saturday. Instead of a pike, he fished a human lower leg from the Marchfeld Canal, which flows 18 kilometers from Lower Austria through the north of the federal capital before flowing into the Russbach at Deutsch-Wagram (Lower Austria).
There is fear in the environment
Since then, the investigation has been in full swing. Yet life on the canal goes on. Passersby and joggers don’t notice the exams. Yet fear is rampant. A mother says she is afraid to walk here with her children. The forensic team parks their equipment not far from the water. krone.tv was on site when a rubber boat with divers from the special Cobra unit discovered even more remains in the icy water.
DNA comparisons are now being made. In any case, it is unlikely that the body parts can be attributed to more than one person. Possible suitable missing persons cases are searched beyond the city limits. “Clarifying the victim’s identity is a top priority,” investigators said. All that is known so far is that the victim was male.
“Think someone got thrown away”
While the police officially speak of investigations in all directions – and do not want to rule out suicide, accident or murder – it seems clearer for the fishermen at the canal. “I think someone has been thrown out,” someone told the “Krone”. Possibly a bag that had been left hanging in the forest and undergrowth by the water burst open and the body parts were then washed into the ditch.
Location popular casting target for fishermen
He is surprised that the leg was only found on Saturday. The place called “Unter den Rohren” in the scene is one of the most popular areas. In addition, winter is the ideal time to catch predatory fish. Water eddies like the one where the thigh was found are particularly popular casting targets.
In any case, the nearby shopping area is seen as an unsafe area with illegal street prostitution. Be that as it may, a mafia-style murder, including mutilation, does not seem out of the question…
