Investigations Surrounding Graz Influencer Continue

In the case of the Graz influencer found dead last Saturday, there were initially no further significant investigation results on Thursday. The examination of the burned-out car of the arrested ex-boyfriend of the woman is still ongoing, according to the Graz public prosecutor's office to the APA. The final autopsy result is also still pending. The ex-boyfriend, suspected of the killing, will be questioned for a few more days, according to the police.

Police seek witnesses

The police are meanwhile looking for a witness who apparently was in the vicinity of the victim's apartment at the time of the crime.

Previous witnesses had alerted the police that on Sunday, November 23, in the morning, an unknown man was in the stairwell or in the vicinity of the apartment of the killed woman. According to the current state of investigation, this man is not connected to the crime, but could be a valuable informant for the police and may have made observations related to the crime. Therefore, on Thursday afternoon, the police issued a statement asking the unknown man to contact the on-call service of the State Criminal Police Office of Styria at the phone number 059133-60-3333. Information regarding the identity of this person is also being accepted.

Autopsy still ongoing

The woman was killed by massive violence against the neck, as the preliminary autopsy result revealed. She had hematomas on her neck - apparently caused by strangulation - as well as injuries to the face and a single stab wound to the neck. However, the latter was not "causal to death," said a spokeswoman for the public prosecutor's office. The weapon or tool that caused the wound has not yet been found.

Ex-boyfriend confessed

The ex-boyfriend of the woman, who is from Slovenia, had already confessed to the killing, and pre-trial detention has been imposed. He stated during interrogations that he was intoxicated at the time of the crime, as confirmed by the public prosecutor's office. The Slovenian police found the body of the Graz woman on Saturday in a suitcase buried in the forest. The woman had been missing for almost a week. Previously, her ex-boyfriend had admitted that he killed her in her apartment in Graz and brought her to Slovenia. He then set his car on fire near the Spielfeld border crossing.
