This crime shocked the whole country: a week ago, after a discussion, a police officer shot and killed the 59-year-old inspection commander in Upper Styria. On Tuesday, the murdered man will be buried in his hometown of Lassing – a day of great mourning for the police.
The Secretary of the Interior, the governor of the state, the commander of the state police Gerald Ortner, about 100 police officers and an estimated as many other mourners paying their last respects to Harald K.: There was a lot of sympathy in Lassing Tuesday afternoon.
Shot in cold blood
The popular Ennstaler lived there, who was shot dead last Monday. In the morning he asked a colleague to come to the manager’s office for an interview. In calm terms, the commander informed the 46-year-old that he had to report an abuse – an accident at work had not been registered as required. There is an allegation of abuse of office in the chamber, which could have led to a suspension.
The police officer leaves the room, grabs his Glock 17 and returns. The suspected perpetrator asks the commander if the matter can be arranged differently – covered up. “No, you can’t, you have to understand that!” explains K.
The 46-year-old then shoots his superior four times! After the bloody deed, the gunman confronts a colleague with the words “I shot the boss!” and have him take the weapon. During the interrogation he confesses to the shots, but does not give details about the motive for the crime in further investigative conversations. The Styrian is imprisoned in Leoben Prison.
