A 48-year-old man has confessed to murdering his 36-year-old partner in January 2026 during a trial at the Landesgericht Korneuburg. The couple had met in 2022 and lived together in Mistelbach since 2025, but their relationship was marked by violence, alcohol and drug use, and repeated police interventions. Despite multiple legal proceedings, both were released due to lack of testimony against each other. The accused described the days before the murder as tense and filled with verbal and physical abuse. His partner was allegedly attacked with a kitchen knife during an argument, leading him to kill her with a rope in a fit of rage. He later moved her body to an underground cellar and did not report the crime immediately, informing a friend several days later who then alerted the police. The defendant expressed deep regret, stating he is horrified by himself.
