Terrible bloody deed in Carinthia, Austria. According to the police, a man (63) first killed his 62-year-old wife with an ax. Shortly after this act, a 56-year-old woman was shot nearby on the street. The shot was fired from close range.
–
The suspect fled in a car, as Carinthia’s chief criminalist Gottlieb Türk says. The news of another violent death came in the afternoon. This time from Tarvisio, a border town in Italy about 30 kilometers away.

Illegal possession of pistols
Italian police stopped the man in front of a restaurant, opened the fire and then killed himself, reports the Italian broadcaster RAI. The officials therefore did not shoot back.
–
Police officers in Tarvisio and coroners are in the process of confirming the dead man’s identity, says Türk. However, due to the circumstances, it is very likely and obvious that it is the alleged 63-year-old perpetrator.

The motive and the relationship with the second woman is also still unclear. However, it was already clear on Saturday that the suspect had not legally owned the pistol, the lead criminalist said. (SDA / fr / noo)
