Terrible scenes in the Villach apartment
More than 20 years ago, the two were married in Afghanistan through a forced marriage. After they came to Austria in 2015, the woman became more and more emancipated and ultimately wanted a divorce. Many fights ensued, one of which nearly ended fatally. The man inflicted a nearly 30-centimetre-long cut on his wife’s throat on September 3, 2021. He then cut her entire upper body and hands. The 9-year-old son witnessed the crime, fetched the neighbors, who then called the police.
