A partner abused a woman (56) in northern Burgenland for years and wanted to be the sole heir when she died. She fled the house and, on the advice of an acquaintance, reported the case.
A 65-year-old allegedly beat, pushed, threatened and humiliated his partner in northern Burgenland for years with mind games. The 56-year-old always justified the bruises with her own clumsiness – she had just fallen again.
“I know where they all live!”
When she tried to gently tell her partner that she would contact the family and tell them everything, he allegedly said: “You dare! I know where they all live!”
The woman only dared to do this after he allegedly held a gun to her head and forced her to sign a will he had drawn up, in which he was named sole heir after her eventual death. She did so, but went into hiding with an acquaintance and was persuaded to report the crime.
Suspect denies everything
During the trial in Eisenstadt, the judge did not consider his constant smug smile in the dock as a mitigating circumstance; she sentenced the 65-year-old to 15 months’ probation for persistent violence. And he must transfer 5,000 euros to his ex. After consultation with his lawyer Ina-Christin Stiglitz, a full appeal was filed.
