Austria Reeling From Migrants' Murder of Women

When patriarchy and misogyny among foreigners spawn killings.

In a bloody start to 2019, four women have been brutally murdered in the peaceful Alpine nation of almost 9M people in just over 2 weeks, shaking the country to its core.

With an additional 2 murders of women committed in December, the tally stands at 6 in just over 5 weeks.

(There have been no male murder victims.) And this in a country with the very low murder rate of only .66 per 100,000 people.

“It is striking that many foreigners and asylum seekers are found over proportionally among the suspects. That suggests that this group is particularly misogynistic and patriarchist oriented,” said social scientist Birgitt Haller of the Institute for Conflict Research in Vienna.

Police concur. They report that sometimes when called to a migrant home where the husband is physically abusing his wife: “Then he doesn’t understand at all why he is not allowed to hit his wife and why he has to leave the apartment.”

Last year, there were 74 murders in Austria, including 44 (60%) women, a new record. But the growing number of murders also matches the general upward trend in crime in the county. Knife attacks, for example, have gone up 300 per percent in the last ten years.

It is the number of female murder victims, however, that distinguishes Austria. In seven of the last ten years, more women have been murdered than men, in two years the numbers were even and only one saw more men killed than women.

On January 8, a Turk stabbed his wife 38 times in front of their three children on the street. She had intended to leave him. The man was known as an Islamic fundamentalist and was in the sights of the intelligence service.

He would try to convert people and go around lecturing smoking women. At Christmas markets, he would knock ‘gluhwein’, a traditional mulled wine drink, out of people’s hands, saying the drinks were “un-Islamic.”

He also had had 30 complaints made against him concerning disturbing the peace, but police could not act because he was not violent.

The fourth female murder occurred the same day. An unemployed, native Austrian man, described as “eccentric,” stabbed his ex-girlfriend to death in front of her apartment building, striking her six times.

The fifth murder witnessed the death of the second 16-year-old, Manuela, on January 13. Her ex-boyfriend, a 19-year-old Syrian asylum seeker, Yazan, strangled her to death in a park, covering her body afterwards with leaves and branches.

On January 15 an Ethiopian man stabbed his sister to death in Vienna’s main train station. The sister had come from London to save him from the drug scene he had fallen into. After an argument in the ticket hall, the man fled to a lower level, his sister following.

He then turned and stabbed her. The man was suffering from a broken relationship, in which he felt the woman had treated him badly.

The former socialist government, who allowed the migrant wave into Austria in 2015, is being heavily blamed for the women murders.

Strache holds all those who initially cheered the then unregulated, massive influx, and, more specifically, the former SPO (Socialist Party of Austria) chancellor, Werner Faymann, directly responsible.
