Horror reigns in the Carinthian community of Knappenberg after a horrific act of bloodshed. A well-known businessman was the victim of a fatal shot to the heart - why and under what circumstances remains a mystery. But the young man's shocked surviving relatives have their own theory.

Can a heart shot in the dark of night be self-defense? This question arose recently after the terrible tragedy in Knappenberg, in which - as reported - a 36-year-old businessman lost his life. His family has now been granted access to the case files. And they have a different view of what happened.
