A jealous ex has been charged with murdering a wannabe beauty influencer – who may have then been buried alive in a suitcase.
The 31-year-old ex, only identified as Patrick M, allegedly strangled and stabbed 32-year-old Stefanie Pieper in her apartment in Austria last November before stuffing her in a suitcase that was later found buried in a forest near the border with Slovenia.
Pieper was found with facial injuries — which investigators fear she may have sustained while trying to fight her way out of the suitcase.
“It is quite possible that she was still alive when she was placed in the suitcase,” prosecutors previously said in March.
However, it is equally possible that she was killed by strangulation beforehand. The autopsy could not definitively determine when the young woman died.”
Patrick M previously confessed to killing the influencer, blaming his jealousy after they split, and was formally charged with murder on Monday, Bild reported.
