Austrian Husband Under Probe After Wife Dies in Alleged Abuse Case
Police say the husband searched for ways to incapacitate his wife and exchanged messages about abusing her before her death.
- An Austrian husband is under investigation for sexual assault resulting in death after his 40-year-old wife died from injuries sustained while extremely intoxicated; police discovered he searched for incapacitation methods days before.
- Chat messages allegedly show the husband referred to his wife as "dead meat" and discussed abuse with a neighbor, 51, also now in custody who thanked him for "allowing me to use her."
- The husband confessed to assaulting his wife twice, including on the night she died, and subsequently disposed of the waterbed where she died and deleted an app from his phone.
- This case parallels the trial of Gisele Pelicot in France, where Dominique Pelicot was sentenced to 20 years for drugging his wife and inviting more than 50 men to rape her over nearly a decade.
- Gisele Pelicot waived her anonymity to raise awareness of drug-facilitated rape, insisting "it's not for us to have shame, it's for them," while police continue investigating more suspects in the Austrian case.
