Four shots from close range hit Kurt H. (51) last Saturday in Oberkappel. Three of them would in themselves have been fatal for the Mühlviertler – this was now evident from the first results of the autopsy. The perpetrator of the bloody jealousy drama is being autopsied in Munich.
As reported, 44-year-old German Benjamin R. rang the doorbell of victim Kurt H. (51) in Oberkappel around 8:40 am on Saturday. The perpetrator’s wife – the two were separated – opened the door and a short conversation ensued between the divorced couple. Immediately afterwards, the 44-year-old allegedly shot the Upper Austrian with a pistol and fled back to Germany in his green Suzuki Jimny. There he committed suicide.
Three shots were fatal
Kurt H.’s autopsy now shows that he had no chance of survival. The furiously jealous German fired at least five shots at the man. Four hit him, one bullet grazed Kurt H. “Three of the four shots were fatal,” said Reinhard Huemer-Steiner, spokesman for the Linz Public Prosecutor’s Office, in an interview with the “Krone”.
Shots to the head
Creepy detail: Benjamin R. fired the shots mainly at Kurt H.’s head, one of which hit him in the forehead. An autopsy is currently being carried out on the body of the suspected perpetrator in Munich, but the Linz Public Prosecutor’s Office has not yet received any results.
