After ten years, the investigators are on the verge of a breakthrough: A 53-year-old Hungarian is an urgent suspect! In 2011 he and two other men are said to have brutally robbed a two-family house in Pirka (Graz area).
The three residents of the two-family house in Pirka will certainly never forget May 27, 2011: At night three masked men broke into the 73-year-old’s bedroom through an open window. They sprayed her with pepper spray and handcuffed her hands and feet. Pepper spray was also used with the couple sleeping on the ground floor – a 54-year-old and a 39-year-old. The perpetrators tied up both of them and threatened them with a weapon. At that time, the victims had to open the safe: cash and jewelry of high value were stolen, and the sports car in front of the house was misused as an escape vehicle. Police found the old woman and the couple tied to a bed with ties. The car was seized two kilometers from the crime scene. In 2021, ten years after the brutal robbery, intensive investigations by the Styrian State Criminal Police Office in cooperation with Hungarian officials were able to identify a suspect: a 53-year-old Hungarian who is already in custody in his country because he has similar things there Despite the overwhelming burden of proof, the man did not confess when questioned by the Graz public prosecutor. He also did not provide any information about his two accomplices – the police are still looking for them. The 53-year-old is currently not being extradited to Austria.
