An elderly woman who was seriously injured in a knife attack by an unknown person at the St. Leonhard Cemetery in Graz at the end of January is on the road to recovery.

The retiree has now been questioned multiple times and "carefully" by criminal investigators, as a police spokesperson informed the APA upon request on Friday. However, this has not provided any new clues for the investigation into the knife attack at the Graz cemetery. She was unable to provide a description of the person.

Retiree Seriously Injured in Knife Attack at Graz Cemetery

The 73-year-old was attacked from behind by an unknown person on January 29, a Wednesday afternoon, at her husband's grave and was seriously injured with a Stanley knife. Other cemetery visitors found the woman and alerted the rescue services. At that time, the retiree was still able to state that she had been attacked by a man. She was taken to the nearby LKH University Hospital and received intensive medical care. In the meantime, she has even been able to leave the hospital once. The State Criminal Police Office is still asking potential witnesses for assistance. This also concerns observations at and around the cemetery, even before the crime, such as whether a man behaved suspiciously there. Witnesses are asked to contact the LKA at the phone number 059133-60-3333 or the emergency number 133.
