After the bloodshed involving a family in Enns (district of Linz-Land), the public prosecutor's office in Steyr assumed on Tuesday afternoon that a decision on their request for pre-trial detention for the suspect would not be made until Wednesday.

The results of the autopsy of the two deceased are also expected on that day, said a spokeswoman for the public prosecutor's office. A 78-year-old is said to have stabbed his 70-year-old wife and their 41-year-old son in their shared house.

For Mother and Son in Enns, Help Came Too Late

According to current findings, the crime was apparently preceded by an argument between the couple. When the fatal knife attack occurred is still under investigation. The time of the crime could be from Sunday afternoon to Monday morning. In any case, the police were called to the house on Monday around 7:00 a.m. For the mother and son, help came too late, and the suspect was taken to the hospital with injuries. Whether he attempted to take his own life could not be confirmed by the spokeswoman for the public prosecutor's office. The man was questioned on Monday and is said to have largely confessed.
