Cops: Austrian Teen Killed, Ate Roommate in Homeless Shelter
Thursday, August 30, 2007
An Austrian teenager has confessed to murdering a man he met in a homeless
shelter and eating parts of his brain and internal organs, authorities said.
The 19-year-old, named only as Robert A, is alleged to have killed his
49-year-old roommate by crushing his skull with a 20lb iron bar, before
using a butcher's knife to remove the man's intestines.
The murder is believed to have taken place at least three days ago and was
discovered yesterday when a cleaner entered the shelter. The man allegedly
told her about the murder and asked her to inform the police.
Officers who arrived at the ground-floor flat in the 15th district of Vienna
found the body lying in a pool of blood, with body parts spread around the
room. Half-eaten parts were found on a plate in the kitchen.
The 19-year-old was sitting next to the victim, his clothes allegedly soaked
in blood. He reportedly greeted the officers by saying: "Just look what
happened here."
A police investigator said of the scene: "We are supposed to be prepared for
situations like this, but this surpasses the limits of imagination."
The two men reportedly lived alone in the shelter, a two-bedroom flat that
is run by a private social care company, financed partly by the city
authorities. It was created as a first-aid accommodation for mentally ill
people living on the street. The residents receive weekly visits from social
workers.
