New details about the mysterious case of three dead people with gunshot wounds in Bad Vöslau, Lower Austria: The apartment owner – one of the dead – may have started the fire in the apartment himself. The theory that a fourth person could have been in the apartment is becoming increasingly unlikely.
According to Stefan Pfandler, head of the Lower Austrian State Criminal Investigation Department (LKA), the body of the 77-year-old apartment owner had, among other things, singed hair and eyebrows. This was not the case with the other two men, aged 63 and 67.
“No conclusive explanation yet”
Gasoline was spilled in four places and set on fire in three places. A bus was seized, Pfandler said. He describes the investigation into the cause of the fire as completed on Thursday, but the motive for the crime remains unclear for the time being. There is “no valid explanation yet,” the LKA boss said.
There are also increasing reasons that a fourth person could have been present in the apartment at the time of the crime. According to Pfandler, the interrogation of firefighters who had climbed in via the balcony revealed that the emergency services had to cut through a fly screen. It probably wouldn’t have been intact if someone had fled this way.
A pistol and a long rifle were seized from the apartment. The 77-year-old legally owned both.
Neighbors raised the alarm
On Saturday, neighbors raised the alarm because they smelled the smell of fire in the apartment complex. Shortly afterwards, the fire brigade recovered three male bodies from the fire brigade apartment; all three had gunshot wounds.
