Victim only 16 years old – bloody act with ax: suspect (45) in custody

Accordingly, the victim from Bulgaria is said to be a 16-year-old teenager who was brutally killed with an ax and lost his life as a result.

Taken into custody
The suspect was remanded in custody on Wednesday. The reasons for detention are the risk of escape and the risk of committing a crime, according to court spokeswoman Christina Salzborn. The suspect has no memory of the murder. He admitted to using alcohol and crystal meth before the crime.

The background to the crime is still completely unclear. According to the 45-year-old Austrian, the two men had occasional contact. Moreover, the two were probably in a romantic relationship and had also agreed to have sex. Both have connections to the drug world.

Suspect speaks of film tear
The 45-year-old also stated that he only remembered consuming the drugs and alcohol, after which he had a break from filming.

45 year old drove to Linz
The fact is that the man went to his sister in Linz on Monday. There he then went to a police station and stated that there was a body in his apartment. The authorities of Upper Austria then warned their counterparts in Vienna. Immediately afterwards, a WEGA team rushed to the apartment on the Bloch-Bauer-Promenade in the Sonnwendviertel and broke open the apartment door.

The police even found a dead man there whose body had massive injuries. An ax was seized as a suspected murder weapon. The 45-year-old was subsequently taken into custody and was due to be questioned on Monday.
