Vienna Apartment Sealed in Investigation of Woman Found Cemented in Austrian Wall

Austrian police have sealed an apartment in Vienna as part of their investigation into the disturbing discovery of a woman's body cemented inside a wall at a house in Lower Austria. The case took a grim turn when the woman's relative attempted to contact her to wish her a happy 100th birthday, only to report her missing after failing to reach her.

Further details have emerged since the initial discovery in Münchendorf, Lower Austria. According to reports, the sealed Vienna apartment is believed to have been occupied by the deceased woman's son. It has also been established that the woman maintained her primary residence in the same Vienna building. The scene at the apartment, described as a renovated turn-of-the-century building in a quiet neighborhood, was marked by signs of a forced entry on the door, appearing fresh and clean, suggesting it was opened with a tool.

The sealed apartment bears official notices from the City of Vienna and a blue police seal sticker. Neighbors described the son as being around 50 years old and expressed shock and reluctance to discuss the residents of the sealed apartment. The investigation now appears to be focusing heavily on Vienna, indicating that the police are interested in both the Lower Austria house and the Vienna apartment.

Investigators are working to determine the timeline of the woman's death, which could have occurred years ago, and to identify the perpetrator. An autopsy ordered by the State Prosecutor's Office in Vienna is expected to shed light on the cause of death. The discovery was made last Thursday when police, alerted by the missing person report, forced entry into the Lower Austria house. Cadaver dogs led investigators to the wall near the basement entrance, where the horrific discovery was made behind brickwork.
