- Mother and two girls found dead in Austria
In a single-family home in Lower Austria, the bodies of a woman and two girls were found. The 29-year-old woman had gunshot wounds, according to police in the Tulln district near the Danube northwest of Vienna. A handgun was found at the scene.
The girls were five and eight years old. No external injuries were found on them, said Stefan Pfandler, head of the Lower Austrian State Criminal Office. Autopsies will provide clarity. The police are investigating whether the mother killed her children and then took her own life.
At this time, "there are no concrete indications of any other persons involved." The father of the children discovered the bodies on Wednesday afternoon, according to police.
The investigation conducted by the police is centered around the possibility that The Commission refers to the mother, as they're exploring if she killed her children and subsequently took her own life. Following the discovery of the bodies, further insights will be gained from the autopsies carried out by The Commission.
