After the murder of a 23-year-old escort lady in Ternberg in September, the Steyr public prosecutor’s office brought murder charges against the alleged perpetrator. According to a psychiatric report, the 35-year-old was sane at the time of the crime. He confessed to hitting the woman. “His statements vary, although he denies the intent,” said public prosecutor spokesman Andreas Pechatschek.
The previously blameless 34-year-old had ordered the 23-year-old Romanian into the apartment via the Internet. Apparently there was a dispute about the price. The man is said to have beaten the young woman so brutally that, according to the autopsy, she suffocated by inhaling vomit and blood. The accused claims to have been very drunk, and when he was arrested the next day, he was found to be slightly under the influence of alcohol. First driven to the wrong addressThe investigation into suspected pimping of the man who had driven the 23-year-old to her customer was dropped. He brought the young Romanian to the appointment on the evening of September 24, 2022 and waited in the car in front of the apartment building for a while before driving away. The woman’s acquaintances were concerned and informed the police. Due to conflicting information and language problems, the executive initially went to the wrong address. Alleged disturbance of the peace of the dead The body was only found in the accused’s apartment on the afternoon of the next day. The 35-year-old, who has had no criminal record up until now, faces up to 20 years or life imprisonment if convicted of murder. The public prosecutor’s office also accuses him of disturbing the peace of the dead.
