Body of a woman dropped just in front of an official building
A 28-year-old Romanian man confessed to the murder of his girlfriend. This has been the 25th murdered woman in Austria in 2021.
During the interrogations, the man that dropped the body of a young woman just in front of the Villach district administration on monday, has confessed to being the one that murdered her.
