New evidence suggests that Aaron E. was murdered on the mountain pasture in South Tyrol. But the case still raises questions.
Terenten – On August 18, Aaron E. was found dead on the Raffalm in South Tyrol. The 24-year-old had deep injuries to his neck and a chainsaw was lying next to him. At first it was unclear whether this was an accident, suicide or murder. But now there is growing suspicion that the young man from Terenten (Italy) was the victim of a crime. The reason for this is traces of blood on the suspected murder weapon and the confiscation of a second car.
It was originally assumed that the lumberjack had driven to the mountain pasture in his off-road vehicle in the early hours of the morning. It has since been revealed that Aaron E. spent the previous evening at a party, according to the Italian news agency AnsaHe returned to Terenten by taxi. What is particularly striking is that at the time of his death between 5 and 6 a.m., the 24-year-old was not wearing work clothes, but jeans and sneakers.

Since blood was also found on the chainsaw, the theory is that the suspected murder weapon was deliberately placed in such a way to simulate an accident at work. However, due to the fact that the device was located well away from the body, this is rather unlikely, judges Südtirol NewsMeanwhile, Italian media claim to have learned that Aaron E. was killed in another location and then taken to the mountain pasture in South Tyrol.
