The investigation by forensic doctors and experts into the fatal shots in Bad Sauerbrunn is in its final stages. With a machete in his hand, a German was killed by projectiles from a police officer’s service weapon. The results of the autopsy are now eagerly awaited.
The incident on January 5 is a terrible memory: around 2:30 p.m., a police patrol was sent to a house in the 2,250-person spa town of Bad Sauerbrunn. “Family dispute” is the alarm message. Two officers advance. In the garden they see a man in anger – with a machete in his hand!
Next to him is his wife (60), who is apparently threatened by him with the long knife. Police intervened and the woman ran into the home. Then the official action takes a dramatic turn. Not even pepper spray could stop the man (55). After several warning shots, three projectiles hit him fatally.
The autopsy took a long time
The investigation has been in full swing since then. The autopsy takes a lot of time. The result is awaited with great anticipation soon. “The report could be available within days. However, there is no exact date,” the Eisenstadt public prosecutor’s office said.
Large amount of medicines
The question remains open for the time being whether the machete man was under the influence of drugs. In any case, cannabis was seized at his home address. “The quantity was so large that it far exceeded the usual level of personal consumption,” authorities said.
Investigation of a complaint
As soon as the report is available, the Public Prosecution Service will investigate whether charges will be filed against the police officer. The officer’s lawyer assumes that the procedure will soon be stopped: “There is not the slightest fault in the behavior of my client and his colleague.”
