Blood Act in Traiskirchen: Eight Months Suspended for 63-Year-Old

She was accused of having organized an over-and-under shotgun for the 66-year-old shooter, who was subject to a weapons ban, with which the man committed suicide. The accused was legally sentenced to eight months probation for assisting in the suicide.

According to the accusation, the defendant, defended by Andreas Strobl, allegedly procured the weapon for the 66-year-old through an intermediary. The later shooter was part of the accused's circle of acquaintances. The intermediary was not included in the proceedings. He was reportedly told that the 66-year-old needed the weapon for his own protection.

Crime was committed on July 13

The inmate of the Wiener Neustadt correctional facility shot his ex-girlfriend and her new partner on July 13 during an approved prison leave. Subsequently, he initially fled in a car but then committed suicide. The 66-year-old, who had a relevant criminal record, was last sentenced to one year of unconditional imprisonment for domestic violence on February 4 at the Wiener Neustadt Regional Court. The prison sentence was supposed to end this December.

The man is said to have announced the bloodshed with cryptic posts on Facebook. The inmate presumably shot out of jealousy, as he was in a relationship with the female victim some time ago. A weapons ban had been in place against the 66-year-old since 1985.
