Mother and twins starve in locked apartment

The 45-year-old mother and her children, both 18, were found Tuesday in a town apartment in the Floridsdorf district of the Austrian capital.

The door to the house was locked and there was no sign of burglary or violence.

A post mortem examination revealed that they had died in late March or early April and that they had died of starvation.

There was no sign that they had been poisoned.
