Even a double murderer like Roland Drexler (56) from Altenfelden can hope for forgiveness and redemption as a Christian. The pastor points this out: "The perpetrator and victim will laugh together in heaven." Drexler had already been buried secretly in his home parish of Altenfelden in the closest family circle the previous week.

"Roland Drexler was buried last week at the request of the family in the closest of circles," says Rupert Granegger (61), parish administrator in Altenfelden since September, clearing up the mystery of whether and where the Mühlviertel double murderer has found his final resting place. However, a public memorial service for Drexler is planned for next week.
