In the terrible case in Vienna-Simmering, in which ex-football player Volkan Kahraman (43) was shot in the street by his friend (46) with a handgun, more and more details are now coming to light. Police say the shooter did not have a gun permit. For the criminals, “everything points to an act of jealousy at the moment”.
The 43-year-old and his killer – an entrepreneur who was also in the football world – would have known each other very well for years and were even good friends. But the murder victim put this bond to the test, which ultimately ended fatally. As the “Krone” reported, Volkan Kahraman allegedly had an affair with his friend’s wife.
met to discuss
That is probably why the men met in a café-bar just a few meters from the later crime scene to discuss the case. A short time later, however, the dispute completely escalated. As they left the bar together and found themselves in Etrichstrasse, the older man suddenly drew his pistol and fired the fatal shot before directing himself. The emergency services, who were alerted around 11:40 am, cordoned off the area of the crime scene after arrival.
fistfights between family members
Autopsies on the two men have been ordered. Because there were physical fights and arguments between relatives of the two dead on Wednesday after the crime, the police had the houses of the two families guarded by WEGA and the standby unit. “But that’s the rule in such cases,” says Fürst. The area around the crime scene is also being closely monitored, police said.
The matter is clear to the police. A suicide note was also found. Witness testimony would substantiate the jealousy theory. There is no information yet about the origin of the weapon, “that is still the subject of an ongoing investigation,” said police spokesman Daniel Fürst on Thursday.
Detail: The two men collected donations and relief supplies after the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria that killed thousands. On Thursday it would have been the intention to bring the goods to Turkey.
