POSED AS PLUMBERS: Serbians suspected of brutally beating and robbing an 88-year-old grandmother in Austria!

A months-long investigation by Austrian police has led to the solving of a brutal robbery targeting an 88-year-old pensioner in the town of Langenzersdorf, in the Korneuburg district of Lower Austria. Two Serbian nationals are suspected of carrying out the attack. According to investigators, they broke into the elderly woman’s home in December 2025 and seriously injured her.

According to a police statement, the suspects arrived at the pensioner’s home at around 9:00 a.m. on December 18 under the pretense of carrying out plumbing work. As soon as they entered the house, they attacked the elderly woman, knocked her to the floor, tied her up with bed linen and clothing, and then beat her with their hands and feet.

While one of the attackers restrained the victim, the other searched the house for cash and other valuables.

They made off with a small amount of cash

According to police, the suspects stole only a small amount of cash. To prevent the victim from calling for help, they took her mobile phone and disabled her landline telephone connection before fleeing the scene.

DNA evidence led to the case being solved

The pensioner managed to free herself and, with the help of a neighbor, alerted the police. Although the search immediately following the attack yielded no results, an extensive investigation by the Lower Austria State Criminal Police Office eventually led investigators to the suspects.

The first suspect, who was 18 years old at the time of the crime, was arrested in Vienna on April 8 while allegedly attempting to carry out another violent home invasion. DNA analysis linked him to the attack on the pensioner, after which he confessed to committing the robbery.

His alleged accomplice, a 51-year-old Serbian national, was arrested in Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 3 on the basis of a European arrest warrant and is currently being held in extradition custody.

The victim still depends on assistance

Due to the injuries she sustained, the 88-year-old pensioner spent a total of 16 days in hospital, and according to police, she still requires regular care and assistance.
