Family death riddle: Bodies of starved
mother and twins found locked in home

Police are struggling to make sense of the mysterious deaths of a woman and her twin daughters found dead inside a locked flat in the Austrian capital of Vienna.

Firefighters discovered the rotting corpses of Vesna Milosevich, 46, and Suzana and Tanja, both 18, when they broke into the trio's apartment in a government housing block in Werndlgasse on May 21.

Suzana and Tanja were stretched out on a bed while the remains of their mother were on the floor beside them.

The results of a post mortem examination released overnight confirmed initial police suspicions Milosevich and her daughters had starved to death.

In another horrifying development, investigators now believe the women had been dead for weeks and likely perished sometime in early April.

Read rest, sort of wish I hadn't. That was senseless. They all needed mental help. What a waste of life.

I donèt even know what to say about this. Someone shouldève stepped in to help those girls before it got to this point. Like the father.

Surely there’s more to this story. Suicide by starvation? And 3 people all thought it was a good idea and actually went through with it?? All 3 of them? Very odd. After the first one died then what, the other 2 just laid there starving for who knows how long until the next one died? I just don’t see this happening in any way. Wow

With a mother and twins (identical?) involved, one might see this as almost a case of folie à deux, particularly given the situation here.

In the article, the girls were said to be developmentally delayed. All three were described as reclusive and the girls as quiet. I'm thinking the mother, suffering from some sort of mental illness, may have been very domineering and irrational, keeping the girls dependent on her and fearful of her. Even if the mother perished first, the girls may not have had the mental acuity or sociability to seek help. JMO

Really a sad situation.
