On Monday evening, the regional court for criminal matters imposed pre-trial detention on the parents, who are said to have abused their 23-year-old daughter in Vienna-Döbling for years. This was announced by court spokesman Christoph Zonsics-Kral. According to Zonsics-Kral, the risk of committing a crime and collusion was assumed to be the reason for detention. The 53-year-old father and his wife, who is a year younger, deny the allegations.
The two were arrested at the weekend by order of the Vienna public prosecutor’s office on charges of continued violence after their daughter went to a police station and filed a complaint against the parents. The daughter is said to have suffered under the strict regime of the two since childhood and experienced violence. Beaten and tortured for ten years She is said to have been regularly beaten and tortured for around ten years. Verbal humiliation was apparently the order of the day. The father is said to have torn earrings from the girl’s or young woman’s earlobe as punishment or punished the daughter with a belt if she did not meet his standards and values. She is said to have been locked in the apartment for several days and deprived of her freedom. “Religious and ideological backgrounds” “It cannot be ruled out that religious and ideological backgrounds played a role,” the state police department said at the weekend. The parents are formally stateless, but are originally from Afghanistan. The daughter also accuses the two of having had to take out loans for them from a bank under threat of violence. In addition to continued use of violence and deprivation of liberty, the couple is also being investigated in the direction of severe extortion and severe coercion. The LKA, West Branch, is conducting further investigations. The 23-year-old is now in a women’s shelter.
