The botanical thriller seems to have been solved: on the night of August 19 to 20, 2022, the magnolia on the main square of Perg was cut down at a height of about one meter. Now the “magnolia killer” should be exposed. It is said to be a 19-year-old from the Perg district, who allegedly so cruelly abused the noble tree out of sheer tastelessness.
The magnificent magnolia tree was part of Perg’s cityscape for 30 years. But on August 20 of the previous year, only his torso remained, four thick branches on the ground. Now the tree outrage should finally be cleared up.
The 19-year-old is said to be the suspected perpetrator
According to media reports, local police have been able to unmask a 19-year-old from Perg district as a suspected criminal. He is charged with serious property damage. The suspect has not confessed, but is weighed down by witness statements. The suspected motive: boredom.
