Mother arrested over beheading of daughter
A woman was arrested today over the grisly killing of her 21-year-old daughter, whose charred body – its head and hands chopped off – was fished out of the Danube River earlier this month, Austrian authorities said.
The mother, whose name and age were not released, was being held in a psychiatric clinic in the northern province of Upper Austria and was unfit for questioning, police said in a statement.
