“The crime scene group of the State Criminal Police Office is on the way to the crime scene to start its investigation,” said Baumschlager. The 87-year-old suspect reported to the police himself in the morning and claimed to have killed his 80-year-old wife. During a look at the couple’s home address, the police found the pensioner’s body.
Mayor shaken
“We are all very shaken,” said Ladendorf Mayor Thomas Ludwig (ÖVP) on Thursday about the bloody deed in the Weinviertel market town. He had only heard of what had happened a few minutes ago. The incident may have happened in the family.
The dead and their relatives had been residing in Ladendorf for decades. “Nobody expected this family,” said the local politician in relation to the bloody deed.
