Intensive investigation, the striking height and a tip from the public led to a suspect being identified just one day after the bloody attack on the Eni gas station in Liezen (Styria). The 20-year-old is also said to be responsible for a robbery at the same gas station in September 2023. But the young woman from Styria denies it – even though she pocketed some of the loot.
It was a robbery that shocked even experienced investigators. Last Sunday, March 17, a woman attacked a gas station in Liezen in the early morning hours and stabbed the cashier with a knife. And this while the 35-year-old had already handed over the loot to the robber.
The victim was incredibly lucky. Despite several stabs to the upper body and head, the external injuries were only minor, but the shock of what he had experienced was very deep.
Striking description of the perpetrator
The description of the perpetrator was striking. 1.60 meters tall, so small in stature, balaclava with slits, black sweater with hood, black pants and striking black sneakers with white soles. The young woman who robbed the same gas station last September was dressed exactly the same.
Fake accent
In the first case the robber spoke with a foreign accent, in the second case she spoke with a Styrian dialect. “The accent was just fake,” says one researcher. After information from the public and intensive investigation, robbery investigators from the LKA Styria and criminals from the detective group in Liezen were able to track down a 20-year-old suspect relatively quickly.
Crime clothes hidden at parents’ house
On Monday afternoon, the young woman from Styria was arrested on the street near her home address. She had hidden most of the loot in a side pocket of her handbag. Investigators also found the crime clothing in a box in her room at her parents’ home. Several kitchen knives were seized. “They are all now being examined for traces,” explains a researcher.
The 20-year-old unemployed woman denies the attacks. “This is my money,” she declared defiantly when asked where the rolled-up cash in her bag came from. She has not yet provided any further information. The public prosecutor ordered her transfer to Leoben prison.
