Austria: Half of suspects murdering women are foreign
Austrian Family Minister Juliane Bogner-Strauss revealed that more than half of the suspects involved in murdering women have foreign backgrounds.

Bogner-Strauss said that in 2017 Austria registered 203 suspects involved in the murders of women and of those, 126 were foreigners. Among the foreigners were 62 asylum seekers — more than a quarter of all suspects, according to Kleine Zeitung.
“One has to take appropriate action,” Bogner-Strauss added but blamed men instead. “Patriarchal structures have not yet died out in Austria”.
The Austrian family minister’s come in the wake of a series of murders involving women in recent weeks by asylum seekers including 16-year-old Michelle F who was killed in Steyr by an Afghan asylum seeker in December, and 16-year-old Manuela K whose body was found under a pile of leaves by her mother in Wiener Neustadt earlier this month.
Last year, the Austrian capital Vienna counted that more than half of the suspects in all crimes have foreign backgrounds.
In the first six months of 2018, even though overall crime declined by ten percent under the conservative coalition government of the Austrian People’s Party and the Freedom Party, foreigners now make up 40 percent of all criminal suspects in Austria.
The city of Vienna has the most foreign suspects at some 51.4 percent, reported Kronen Zeitung. The number of reported rapes saw an increase of 43,3 percent from 2017-18.
