Neighbors heard calls for help – and alerted the police: A lifeless couple with stab wounds was found in a cellar in Mistelbach on Sunday. The background and motif are so far unclear.
Mistelbach – An 18-year-old is said to have killed a couple in his house in Bavaria. He turned himself in to the police. What relationship he is with the 47-year-old and the 51-year-old is currently being determined, said a police spokesman on Sunday afternoon.
“He is not the son.” The motive and background of the act are still unclear. The 18-year-old should come before an investigating judge on Monday.
