SloveniaOn August 10, 2026, a 63-year-old man from Salzburg was arrested by Austrian police on suspicion of attempted murder against his former partner. The attack occurred in their shared house in Salzburg, where the man allegedly assaulted her with a kitchen rolling pin, hitting her three times on the back of her head and pushing her down stairs into the basement. He continued the assault by suffocating her, covering her mouth and nose, and striking her repeatedly against the floor tiles. He then placed a black bag over her head and told her she did not deserve to live. The victim fought back and managed to escape, eventually reporting the incident to the police, who immediately arrested the suspect. The man has been in investigative custody for two weeks due to concerns about evidence being destroyed. Police found the bloodstained rolling pin despite the suspect’s attempts to clean up.
