The deadly Oberkappel jealousy drama that shocked the entire country on Saturday is still under close investigation. Because the investigation is still not completed. Ultimately, the procedure is stopped because the perpetrator is already dead.
Two dead men, two children (14 and 18 years old) who are now half-orphans and a traumatized woman: another bloody act shocked the country this weekend. 44-year-old Benjamin R. from Gottsdorf in Bavaria shot 51-year-old Kurt H. in the Mühlviertel community of Oberkappel – with six shots from a pistol.
Raging jealousy
The reason: Benjamin R. and his wife (43) were divorced, Kurz H. was the woman’s new boyfriend. Benjamin R., a passionate hunter, probably couldn’t have handled that. On Saturday, after a brief conversation with his ex, he shot Kurt H. and fled back to Germany, where he committed suicide.
An autopsy was ordered
Although the case seems quite clear, it is still under investigation. “You have to be able to rule out that someone else was involved. There will be another report and an autopsy on the bodies will have to take place,” Reinhard Huemer-Steiner, spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service, explained to the “Krone”. The autopsy should be completed by Tuesday. In addition, more witnesses will be heard before a final report is drawn up.
Only then will the case – if there are no surprises – be definitively closed. Because the perpetrator is already dead, he cannot be prosecuted.
