Did Ex-Boyfriend of Murdered Jennifer S. Have Accomplices? Lawyer Requests Crime Reconstruction

In the case of Jennifer S., who was killed in 2018, the lawyer for Jennifer's mother, Andreas Schweitzer, speculates that the murder suspect ex-boyfriend might have had an accomplice in transporting the deceased. He based his suspicion on the weight of the body and the box in which it was disposed of, and therefore filed a request for a crime scene reconstruction. Almost eight years after the disappearance of the 21-year-old Viennese woman, the case is considered solved.

Lawyer Suspects Helper in Transporting the Body

Schweitzer confirmed to APA upon request a "Krone" report on Saturday, in which he expressed doubts that the suspect acted alone after the crime: "Everything is still in the investigation stage, but if you imagine the chest with certain dimensions and that Jennifer weighed more than 60 kilograms and he then brought her down from the first floor and into the car, then it is rather unlikely. Someone must have helped him, he couldn't have done it alone." The suspect himself stated that the box was quite unwieldy, and according to Schweitzer, it weighed around 18 kilograms. It is also "incomprehensible" to him that the large box fit into the ex-boyfriend's small car.

Request for Crime Scene Reconstruction

It is therefore important to clarify how the man behaved after the crime. He therefore submitted a request for a crime scene reconstruction to the public prosecutor's office and the court. It could take place before the end of the year, but at the latest at the beginning of 2026, Schweitzer said.

Jennifer S. was considered missing since January 21, 2018. Her now 32-year-old ex-boyfriend confessed that there was an argument on the morning of January 22 because she wanted to break up with him for good. He then grabbed her from behind and strangled her until she lay lifeless on the floor. He then managed to remove the body from the apartment in a suitcase and initially took it to a dirt road near Großweikersdorf (Tulln district). Two months later, he brought the remains to the Allentsteig military training area. The suspect is in pre-trial detention.
