Many questions unanswered
Drexler’s body found in the forest
The body of Roland Drexler was found in a wooded area in Upper Austria on Saturday afternoon. The police are currently assuming suicide. Since Monday, around 250 officers have been searching for Drexler, who is believed to have shot two people. The police had received more than 400 tips by Saturday morning. Nevertheless, there are still many unanswered questions that need to be clarified over the next few days.
It was only on Friday that his getaway car was found by a pedestrian near the two crime scenes. It had probably only been parked there the night before. The police also found a long gun in the vehicle.
250 emergency services on site
Originally, Roland Drexler, who is said to have shot two people on Monday, fled with two long guns and a handgun. Since then, there has been no trace of him. Around 250 emergency services and numerous technical aids have been involved in tracking down the fugitive since the beginning of the week.
Getaway car discovered near the crime scene
This was also the case on Saturday night. The police again searched the area around where the getaway car was found, near the scene of the first murder in Fraunschlag (municipality of Altenfelden). Drones and thermal imaging cameras were also used. His body was then discovered on Saturday. The identification has already been completed. Police protection for those who were considered to be at risk has also been lifted.
Post-mortem examination ordered
"I've been in the police force for 41 years and have never experienced anything like this", said Deputy Provincial Police Director Rudolf Keplinger at the press conference. An autopsy has already been ordered. Many more unanswered questions will be answered in the next few days.
