After robbery on father
Bub († 6) dies in a river in Austria
After a robbery on his father, a six-year-old died in the Tiroler Ache in Austria.
The rescue workers could only save the dead boy (symbol image).
The investigators are currently assuming that the father (37) was out and about in a buggy with his health-impaired son at around four o’clock. Because the child suffered from insomnia, this was nothing unusual. Unknown people then crept up near a jetty in St. Johann and pulled a bottle over the father’s head.
“The victim then fell unconscious to the ground and remained lying. As a result, the perpetrator is likely to have stolen the man’s wallet and mobile phone and fled in an unknown direction,” the police said «Krone».
No evidence of violence in the child
An hour later, the six-year-old was found dead in the Ache River. “The child should have gotten out of the stroller on its own and fell into the river, where it was aborted and 600 meters down the river could only be recovered dead,” said the police.
There is no evidence that the child was subjected to violence by the unknown perpetrators, says LKA director Katja Tersch of the Austrian news agency APA. The injured father was found shortly after five o’clock by a passer-by and then taken to the hospital. (SDA/obf)
