Detention after Shooting at Alleged Burglar

The man was arrested the day before. The public prosecutor's office is investigating on "urgent suspicion of murder" because the suspected burglar was likely already fleeing when the shots were fired.

Defense lawyer spoke on Friday

According to the report, the remand in custody requested by the public prosecutor's office was imposed due to the grounds of "risk of committing or executing the offense." The 66-year-old's defense lawyer, attorney Kurt Jelinek, stated in a statement to the APA on Friday that his client is innocent. In this case, it is a matter of self-defense or a "mistaken assumption of self-defense," said the lawyer, who otherwise did not want to comment further on the case.
