Villach Attacker Remains in Custody

The 23-year-old Syrian asylum seeker randomly attacked men with a knife near the main square in Villach on February 15, until a fellow Syrian hit the Villach attacker with a vehicle, thereby stopping him.

Pre-trial Detention Also Extended for Conscripts After Fatal Shot

The 23-year-old Villach attacker killed a 14-year-old boy from Villach and injured five other people, some seriously. At the time of the crime, the man was mentally competent and not under the influence of drugs. On Monday, the pre-trial detention was also extended by two months in another high-profile case: that of last October, when a 21-year-old soldier died in the Spittal Türk Barracks after being shot by the service pistol of a fellow guard of the same age. The suspect claimed that the shot was accidental, but experts strongly question this.
