Three women found stabbed to death in Vienna brothel, police say

VIENNA (Reuters) – Three women were found dead with apparent knife wounds in a Vienna brothel on Friday evening and a 27-year-old male suspect was arrested soon afterwards in the vicinity, a spokesperson for the city’s police said.

“They appear to be knife wounds,” police spokesperson Philipp Hasslinger said. “It is an ongoing operation so I have no further information for the time being.”

A smartphone displays the SWIplus app with news for Swiss citizens abroad. Next to it, a red banner with the text: ‘Stay connected with Switzerland’ and a call to download the app.

The brothel is in Vienna’s 20th district, one of the city’s poorest.
