The worst suspicion: Nicole is said to have pressed a cushion onto the little ones’ faces until they stopped breathing. “The investigations are continuing in all directions. Because the most obvious thing is not always true,” says Stefan Pfandler, head of the State Criminal Police Office.
The motive and background for the terrible act are unclear. There is no evidence to date of psychological problems on the part of the woman who was crowned Miss Weinviertel nine years ago. A serious illness can also currently be ruled out.
