A 39-year-old woman named Daniela Aichinger was found lifeless in a pool of blood on the couple’s waterbed in Marchtrenk, Austria, after her daughter discovered her. Reports state that her husband, Robert Aichinger, 51, is under investigation for allegedly sedating her and letting other men sexually assault her while she was unconscious in return for money. She died on June 25 this year from injuries tied to the alleged abuse.
Investigators said text messages showed the husband contacting a neighbor, acknowledging that he had drugged her, and calling her “dead meat.” He was taken into custody on July 2, with a court date set for Wednesday. The first time officers questioned him, he was drunk and told emergency crews there had been “an accident” during “rough sex,” according to 20 Minuten, as cited by The US Mirror.
