Son knifes father to death
A pensioner, stabbed repeatedly by his son in a Graz apartment on Friday evening, died from loss of blood after collapsing in the building’s stairwell.
The 59-year-old father Josef F., originally from Burgenland, and his son, 30, had been quarrelling on Saturday evening when neighbours heard screams coming from the dad’s apartment at 7pm. They later found the man lying in the stairwell.
Police found the son, Harald F., standing in the front of the building with facial injuries. He did not resist arrest.
Police said the son had been living with his parents, who had been at the apartment for 30 years. The mother was on vacation when the murder occurred.
In a similar case in Vienna last week, a 20-year-old hacked his mum’s boyfriend to death with an axe after accusing him of drinking his beer.
The man fled after the murder at his 53-year-old mum’s home in Vienna-Penzing early in the morning but returned hours later after.
He immediately confessed to killing the 33-year-old when he found cops examining the scene of the crime.
The killing came just weeks after a pensioner killed a pal in a row over a card game.
Rudolf K., 77, whacked his 66-year-old friend Viktor B. with a chair after a drunken row while they were playing cards at the "Wildrast" restaurant in Göpfritz in Lower Austria’s Zwettl district.
Rudolf K. hanged himself just a day after his pal died in hospital from head injuries.
