After the two murder cases in Tyrol’s Fieberbrunn and Itter (both Kitzbühel districts) on Monday and Tuesday, not all details have yet been clarified. While a suspect was placed in pre-trial detention in the Fieberbrunn case, the State Criminal Investigation Department in Itter is still looking for the perpetrator.
As reported, a 54-year-old Austrian was killed with several stab wounds in the neck in the first bloody act on Monday evening in Fieberbrunn. A 45-year-old acquaintance of the victim is suspected of committing the crime. The alleged murder took place in his apartment, he was at the scene. Because the local man was under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, he could not be questioned until Tuesday. However, he remained silent. The State Criminal Investigation Department has now transferred the “Fieberbrunn” case to the Public Prosecution Service.
After further questioning on Thursday afternoon, the 45-year-old was taken into custody “on strong suspicion of murder,” explains Hansjörg Mayr of the Innsbruck public prosecutor’s office. When questioned again, the 45-year-old remained silent again and exercised his right to refuse to testify. “A new review of the pre-trial detention will take place within fourteen days,” Mayr reported. Until then, the investigation is ongoing.
No clue in the Itter case
In the case of the 36-year-old Unterländer, who was found dead by his parents on Tuesday evening in his apartment in Itter (also in the Kitzbühel district), there is still no concrete clue. According to lead investigator Gert Hoffmann, detectives are currently intensively checking people, but he could not provide further information for tactical reasons.
The body of the 36-year-old resident had probably been in the apartment for a day or two when it was found on Tuesday. The German-born man, who is said to have worked as a lift worker at a mountain railway, was probably also fatally wounded in the neck by a knife, or at least by a sharp object.
