The bloody act in the tranquil Leitring in the southern Styrian community of Wagna was shocking. A 38-year-old is said to have killed his father (80) by stabbing him before taking his own life. His partner and her son remain behind. In a farewell letter that he posted on the Internet, the alleged murderer spoke of the “end of tyranny.” The neighbors are completely shocked.
Shortly after 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, the police received a call: “I stabbed my father.” The caller then hung up. Emergency services race to the crime scene. But it’s too late, they only find two bodies. “It’s so terribly sad.” Neighbor Othmar Haller can’t believe it: “I had my blinds down and didn’t hear anything,” he said in an interview with “Krone” on Wednesday morning. It was only a neighbor who informed him in the evening. She came home a little later and saw the large police presence. “I was so scared, it’s so terribly sad. We got along so well. They also loved animals, had lots of ducks, walked the dog every day and fed the birds.” “We always had a lot of contact,” he says. Since the mother’s death last year – she succumbed to cancer – disputes between father, son and his partner are said to have increased. “It was probably about the living situation.” The 38-year-old shift worker and his partner wanted to move out. “But they didn’t find anything suitable.” Tuesday evening it probably escalated.Farewell letter on FacebookA farewell letter that appeared on Facebook sheds more light on the darkness. In it the son speaks of the “end of tyranny”. His father is a baron of lies and a hypocritical tyrant. “If I had known how bad it was, I would have pulled the handbrake much sooner.” “Please forgive me.” He emphasizes in the letter that he loves his partner and is deeply ashamed that he was unable to protect her. “Please forgive me.” If you or someone close to you is in an exceptional psychological situation or is affected by suicidal thoughts, please contact the telephone counseling service on 142.
