The “Aargauer Zeitung” is now reporting on the incriminating evidence against the former professional boxer, based on court rulings. These are known because they are defending themselves in court against the extensions of detention.
These seven points speak against them:
Thomas F.’s apartment had not been broken into – only Viviane O. still had a key.
The blunt force against Thomas F. was used with a baseball bat, which lay bloodied next to the body. According to her son, it belongs to Viviane O.
On the evening of the crime, Vivane O. claims to have watched films at home. However, a car mechanic testified that he saw the red Chevrolet Camaro in Interlaken on October 18, 2020 – the only such car in the region. Having already repaired the Camaro, he knew the car.
The cult host’s mobile phone was destroyed in the act. This is how the investigators found their DNA traces.
Her husband’s blood spatters were found on her shoes. And according to forensic science, these only occur when they hit the ground at a certain speed.
Police found the victim’s tracksuit jacket in a container with DNA from Viviane O.
According to the “Aargauer Zeitung”, the perpetrator hit the victim’s head 19 times with a baseball bat, and the forensic pathologists found countless more on other parts of the body. This indicates that the act was committed with emotions. This fits: Next to the corpse, his wedding ring was on the ground.

Viviane O. has always said she was innocent. Demanded that she be released from prison. But nothing will come of it in the near future. The public prosecutor’s office has announced that charges will be filed. Until then, O. will remain in custody. The court assumes that there is a risk of absconding. You face more than ten years behind bars. Should the woman flee to her old homeland, she could go into hiding. Because Brazil is not obliged to extradite its own nationals. (man)
