First the roommate came under suspicion, then the husband of the couple, who were friends and were guests in the shared apartment in Favoriten that evening in August, confessed to having struck the victim with the fatal blow with the vodka bottle. Ultimately, the woman took the blame. Now it is clear: “Commissioner DNA” could not help in the unusual case of the 24-year-old who was murdered.
The murder of a 24-year-old in a residential building in Vienna-Favoriten in August is confusing investigators. As the “Krone” reported, there was an argument between the young man and his roommate. This is how the friendly couple and their baby described themselves as guests at their home on the night of the crime – and were later suspected of murder themselves.
First, the man admitted that he had hit the victim on the head during an argument with the empty vodka bottle they had previously drunk together. But the man is said to have been alive when he left the house with his family. However, the 24-year-old was released when his wife suddenly confessed to the punch that led to his death.
Amounts of DNA too small to be assigned
DNA traces found on the vodka bottle should have provided information about the mysterious act, but none were found.
According to the report on the trace material submitted, the DNA traces found on the bottle could be attributed neither to the first accused husband (24) nor to his wife of the same age. “Due to the low amounts of DNA and its low quality, no DNA profile could be created that would allow comparison with individuals,” the forensic report said.
