DNA traces were only recently found on the murder weapon, and now there is the next twist in the case of the shot entrepreneur from Knappenberg (Carinthia): the suspect (43) has been released.
Shock rippled through the Carinthian community of Knappenberg when a well-known entrepreneur was shot dead on the doorstep of a fugitive acquaintance at the end of August – the terrible act of bloodshed remains unsolved to this day.
For the family of the murdered 36-year-old, the gunshot that took their loved one away was a “cold-blooded murder” – some even say he was the wrong victim. However, the alleged perpetrator (43) had always talked about self-defense…
After it was announced only a few days ago that DNA traces of two people had been found on the murder weapon, the next surprising twist follows: the 43-year-old suspect has been released!
“There is no longer any suspicion of murder”
“An urgent suspicion regarding the crime of murder is no longer accepted,” Christian Pirker, spokesperson for the Klagenfurt Public Prosecution Service, confirmed to the “Krone”: “A reconstruction of the crime was carried out and came to this conclusion.”
The fatal act took place in Knappenberg at the end of August, after which an argument broke out between the suspect and his stepson at a nearby inn in Hüttenberg. The 43-year-old then drove home, his stepson, the later victim and another person following him.
The investigations have not yet been completed, the Public Prosecution Service is conducting further investigation: “We will take the next steps and continue the investigation,” said Pirker.
