Hours of crime scene investigations in Vienna yielded only a few clues to the course of the bloody act in Donaustadt. As reported, the former president of the Austrian Chamber of Pharmacists, Heinrich Burggasser (74), was found dead in his home on New Year’s Day. Neighbors are shocked.
Only about 500 meters from the nearest police station and in a quiet neighborhood of single-family homes, the shop of ex-pharmacist Heinrich Burggasser stands on Quadenstrasse and is still turned upside down. The detectives of the Viennese police department were also present on Tuesday afternoon and established several leads for the terrible murder on New Year’s Eve.
Although numerous bags of evidence have been taken away, there is reportedly no real hit yet. The mood in the neighborhood is correspondingly depressed: “Everyone knows each other here and also knew the victim. But we only learned about the investigation through the newspaper,” said a local resident. Another resident added: “We could not have heard anything about the fact – let alone heard anything – firecrackers and rockets were fired all night in our area,” the Danube city woman told “Krone”.
The family of the 74-year-old is in shock, the police are covering their tracks: “The investigation is ongoing, but so far neither the murder weapon nor a possible motive has been found that can be shared with the public.” said spokesman Markus Dittrich.
