The 24-year-old nurse from Slovakia, who is said to have stabbed an 82-year-old man she was looking after in Geretsberg (Braunau district) on Thursday evening, will be decided on pre-trial detention on Saturday late afternoon. “It can be assumed that pre-trial detention will be imposed,” said the spokesman for the Ried public prosecutor’s office, Alois Ebner, on Saturday afternoon in response to an APA request.
The woman made an “actual murder confession” during her first interview on Friday evening. She said she got a knife from the kitchen and killed the pensioner. The 24-year-old cited teasing about her sexual orientation as a motive. At the time of the crime she was so drunk that she was first admitted to the Neuromed Campus of the Linz University Hospital.
The nurse from Slovakia was visiting the 82-year-old in Upper Austria for the second time. An assignment always lasted four weeks, after which there was a change. According to Ebner, the first cycle went without any complications. The 82-year-old’s stepdaughter would have said this to the police.
The accused is said to have alerted the 82-year-old’s stepdaughter after the pensioner was attacked in his home. The relative called the rescue workers, who tried to revive the victim. The resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful. The Innviertel resident died at the scene. According to the autopsy results, he bled to death internally after being stabbed in the heart and lung areas. Several knives with blood were found at the crime scene. According to the medical examiner’s office, two knives were the murder weapons.
