Man held as three women found dead in Austrian brothel

The bodies of the three victims had "cuts and stab wounds," police spokesman Philipp Hasslinger told the Associated Press.

A 27-year-old man was soon arrested in the vicinity of the brothel while carrying a knife, the supposed weapon.

Police said the suspect will be questioned later on Saturday.

Police found a fourth woman inside the brothel and she was being questioned by the police as a witness.

The identities of the three victims remains unclear.

Brothels are legal in Austria.
