Pain, sadness and anger at the killer: around six weeks after the brutal rape of 13-year-old Leonie in Vienna, her family tries to come to terms with the shock of the girl’s gruesome death. It is even more difficult for the parents because they experience hatred and malice online – and accusations that they did not take care of their child. Suspect: four Afghans between the ages of 16 and 23; they are in custody.
Due to the massive threats, police protection for the family was announced, and patrol cars are to provide security at their home, reports oe.24. The funeral will also be secured with officials. Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (34) has also offered Leonie’s family support so that they can contact him personally at any time.
Leonie’s mother comments on hate attacks
Who made the hate comments – unclear. But the allegations that are spread on social media are spiteful. “Mainly because people judge us who don’t even know us,” says mother Manuela in an interview with news.at. “We are supposedly the ones who go from one medium to another to make money by using our child. And of course there are those who failed as parents and would not have fulfilled their duty of supervision. There is this pain – and then, to top it all, you are doused with malice.”
The things that are going to circulate – first we are the socially deprived ones who let their child go to seed.
Leonie’s sister was the victim of an act of violence
Now it comes out: Leonie’s older sister has also been subjected to a cowardly attack once, the mother continues. At that time, the family was still living in Vienna. Her daughter was beaten up by Chechens at the time, and the perpetrators filmed the crime! The attack was the reason why the family moved a few months before Leonie’s death from Vienna to Tulln, a small town around 40 kilometers northwest of the capital.
Leonie had gone to Vienna with a friend on June 25 – without the knowledge of her parents. A 16-year-old Afghan, whom she had met on Instagram, allegedly lured Leonie there. At the meeting on Vienna’s party mile, three of his fellow countrymen joined them, who then allegedly made Leonie submissive with drugs.
On the night of June 26, they brought Leonie to the flat of one of the men. There they drugged her with up to eleven Ecstasy tablets. Then began her ordeal, which lasted for hours: the men repeatedly attacked the defenceless girl, beat, strangled and raped her. Later, Leonie was “dumped” on a tree, then found by local residents.
The suspects are refugees from Afghanistan whose asylum applications were rejected. They have been convicted several times for drugs and assault. But they were not deported.
The men blame each other for the girl’s death. There is no trace of sympathy for their victim – instead only contempt: “It doesn’t matter that she is dead, she was a bitch anyway,” said one of the accused according to oe.24.
