A 34-year-old woman who had been missing since July 2024 and her ten-year-old daughter were found dead in an apartment in the Tyrolean capital Innsbruck on Friday. The two are believed to have been murdered.

Two suspects, a 55-year-old Austrian and his 53-year-old brother, had already been arrested in June, the police reported. They are believed to be connected to the deaths of the two victims. The two men were in pre-trial detention.

Bodies of Missing Mother and Daughter Found in Apartment

For several months, the Tyrolean State Criminal Office had been investigating under the direction of the Innsbruck Public Prosecutor's Office on suspicion of two homicides, it was stated. In this context, the two suspects had already been arrested before the actual discovery of the two bodies. The two men were detained in the correctional facilities in Innsbruck and Salzburg, respectively.

Press Conference on Investigations

The exact background and how the two detainees are connected to the deceased were still completely unclear on Tuesday morning. The police planned to announce further details about the case at a press conference at the Tyrolean State Police Directorate at 10:30 a.m. Announced were State Police Director Helmut Tomac, Head of the State Criminal Office Katja Tersch, and Public Prosecutor's Office spokesman Hansjörg Mayr.
