Nephew found the bodies

Horror after bloody deed: “There were no signs”

Why, why, why? After the horrendous act of bloodshed in Pischelsdorf in Styria that left two people dead, the nephew who found the two bodies is also asking himself this question, as stunned as he is desperate.

Friday morning is exceptionally clear and sunny here in the district of Weiz, the chickens are pecking for bugs, the house is in a dreamlike, almost secluded location. It would be so beautiful here. Really idyllic. If it weren't for the four black dog legs sticking rigidly out of the window and the body of the lifeless four-legged friend carefully wrapped in a blanket, a silent witness to a gruesome act of bloodshed.
