The police speak of an attempted murder that would have taken place on Friday evening in the Innsbruck district of Hötting. An Afghan (23) is suspected of inflicting multiple stab wounds on his Austrian girlfriend (24) with a kitchen knife. At first, the young man wanted to tell investigators that it was an accident.
At about 6 pm, the rescue service was called to a residential building in Innsbruck-Hötting. A 24-year-old fell on her shoulder on a knife, it said. But it soon became clear that the injuries had to be for another reason.
When they argued, the friend grabbed a kitchen knife
According to previous police findings, the 23-year-old Afghan citizen attacked his 24-year-old Austrian girlfriend with a knife during an argument, slashing her shoulders and left thigh. The murder weapon is a 35 centimeter long kitchen knife. The victim was taken to hospital with serious injuries, but was released on Saturday.
Suspect has been arrested
The 23-year-old was arrested at the scene by officers from the Hötting Police Inspectorate on suspicion of attempted murder and transferred to the Innsbruck Police Station, where he is currently in custody. The exact background of the crime is still unclear. The interrogation of the 23-year-old suspect is scheduled for Sunday.
