The 18th homicide involving a woman in Austria this year occurred in Lamprechtshausen on Monday. A mother of two died, her husband then killed himself.
A 41-year-old man from Lamprechtshausen committed suicide in a public place in the city of Salzburg on Monday morning. After police identified the man, officials wanted to notify the widow of her husband’s death.
The 35-year-old woman from Flachgau did not open the door of the shared apartment in the center of Lamprechtshausen. She could not otherwise be reached by the police officers.
The police finally decided Monday evening to open the door. The officers found the 35-year-old dead in the bedroom. The body showed blunt force marks. The woman is believed to have been hit with an object.
Police say the couple leaves behind two minor children
The Salzburg State Criminal Police Office took over the investigation. A murder weapon has not yet been found. The public prosecutor ordered the autopsy of the two dead. The State Criminal Police Office is investigating suspected murder to the detriment of the 35-year-old. The couple leaves behind two minor children, according to police. The family lived in a small settlement with single-family or terraced houses. However, the children were not in the family accommodation at the time of the crime, but are said to have been vacationing with relatives who do not live in Lamprechtshausen for some time.
The motive for the crime is currently a mystery to the police. Both the man and the woman were blameless. The investigation into the background of the tragedy was in full swing.
According to the Autonomous Austrian Women’s Shelter, there have already been 17 murders of women this year, the case in Lamprechtshausen is now the 18th.

The bloody deed was only discovered on Monday of the following week.
