After the serious accident involving a tractor vehicle on Saturday on the northeast highway (A6) near Kittsee in Burgenland that killed three, establishing the identity of the victims is “extremely difficult,” police spokesman Helmut Marban said on Monday. Six of the 17 injured have since been released from hospital.
According to Marban, these are all Syrians, but that does not necessarily mean that the entire group is of Syrian descent. The severity of the injuries and the treatment in various hospitals complicate the work of the detectives, as does the fact that the migrants traveled largely without identity papers.
13 men and four minors among the injured
It is certain that 13 men and four minors are among the injured. Two men and a woman died when the van overturned on the Kittsee highway exit. The 30-year-old suspected smuggler is in prison in Eisenstadt. The Russian citizen was carrying a French residence permit as identification.
He was asked about possible donors. However, due to criminal tactics, it is not possible to say what came of the investigation, Marban explained.
