A 21-year-old woman told police on Sunday night that her stepfather had strangled her, pushed her against a wall and threatened her. And he had numerous firearms in the house. The rapid intervention group and the Cobra task force were dispatched to the house in the Feldkirchen district.
At around 11.45 p.m. on Saturday, a family gathering in a house in the Feldkirchen district escalated: a 21-year-old reported bodily harm and dangerous threats. Her stepfather, a 53-year-old German, had strangled her, pushed her against a wall, threatened her, said he had firearms in the house and that her mother was also nearby and possibly in danger. The Cobra task force and the police’s rapid intervention group were dispatched immediately. The suspect barricaded himself in a room that he darkened. He was initially uncooperative. But then the officers came to the gun cabinet, where four long and two short guns, two knives, thousands of rounds of ammunition and an illegal knuckleduster were confiscated. The suspect was given a restraining order against entering and approaching the area, as well as a temporary weapons ban. The stepdaughter went to the Villach regional hospital on her own, but no injuries were found there. The investigation is not yet complete. The Bodensdorf police are also working on the case.
