Start of Trial After Fatal Shots in Wr. Neustadt in February
The jury trial scheduled for two days will continue on March 11th, according to the regional court.
Arrest in Hungary
The Turkish man is alleged to have shot a 34-year-old compatriot in the parking lot of a shopping center with a cinema operation in Wiener Neustädter Stadionstraße at around 0.30 a.m. on September 24, 2023. The victim was hit three times by a handgun. The then 42-year-old alleged shooter was arrested several hours later in Röszke at the Hungarian-Serbian border. Because a procedure for carrying the alleged murder weapon was pending in the neighboring country, the man was only extradited last year.
Further Trial
However, the alleged shooter is considered the victim in a jury trial for serious extortion, which will continue on Wednesday at the Wiener Neustadt regional court. The defendant is said to have tried to force the 42-year-old, together with an accomplice, to hand over the family business. The 34-year-old alleged co-perpetrator later became the victim of the shots in the parking lot of the shopping center.
