After the fatal incident on Saturday evening in an apartment in Vienna-Leopoldstadt, pre-trial detention was ordered on Tuesday for the 56-year-old suspect.

The 56-year-old victim suffered multiple stab wounds to the back. He himself called the emergency services, but help came too late for the injured man. The pre-trial detention was imposed due to the risk of committing the offense, court spokeswoman Christina Salzborn announced. The woman present at the killing in Vienna-Leopoldstadt was released.
