Roommate in Vienna-Leopoldstadt Strangled and Threatened

A 29-year-old is said to have strangled his 22-year-old roommate and pressed him against the balcony railing in Vienna-Leopoldstadt, as the police reported on Sunday. The aggressive Moroccan allegedly also threatened to kill the Austrian. The background is likely a dispute over money and drugs, a spokeswoman for the APA stated.
