Son arrested in Dubai – mother's body found entombed in house wall
The body of an elderly woman was discovered in early June inside a sealed wall in the basement of her house in Münchendorf. Austrian police deployed search dogs, which drew the attention of investigators to a wall at the basement entrance. Officers found the concealed remains there. The public prosecutor's office ordered an autopsy to clarify the cause and time of death.
From the outset, the 57-year-old son of the woman was the focus of the investigation. He was outside Austria and has now been arrested in Dubai on the basis of an international arrest warrant – while attempting to leave the country. The Austrian public prosecutor's office was informed via the embassy and is currently preparing an extradition request. Details about the arrest and the suspect's statement were not disclosed.
The investigation encompasses several scenarios. One examined suspicion involves possible social security fraud: authorities are investigating whether the woman died earlier and her death was concealed so that her son could continue to receive her pension. The autopsy results are expected to establish the time of death. Until then, the public prosecutor's office emphasises that all hypotheses are being examined and the case remains open.
