Perpetrator on the run
Ex’s new lover shot dead
Large-scale operation and search for a fugitive gunman - once again in the Mühlviertel, where the manhunt for the hunter gone amok Roland Drexler is still fresh in the memory. This time, however, the police assume that the perpetrator has no one else in his sights: He shot out of jealousy and the victim died in the hands of the rescuers!
Shortly before nine o'clock, shots rang out in the tranquil village of Oberkappel in the district of Rohrbach. According to what is known so far, a German man shot and killed the new lover of his wife, with whom he was divorcing. The weapon: a pistol. The 51-year-old victim suffered life-threatening injuries, paramedics and an emergency doctor from the Red Cross fought for almost an hour for the life of the Mühlviertler, who, however, could not be saved. He is dead.
44-year-old on the run
In the meantime, the police are hunting for the 44-year-old suspect, a German. A large contingent of law enforcement officers is on its way from Linz to Oberkappel, which is almost 60 kilometers away and lies directly on the Bavarian border. The German police have also been activated, as the suspect is German, as is his wife (43).
She is said not to have been present during the crime. She, as well as their 14-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son, have already been taken to safety by the police.
The shooter fled in a car, it is unclear whether he crossed the border into Germany. A manhunt is underway.
No second Drexler case
"We are not assuming any potential danger to bystanders. It's not a second Drexler case," the police say to reassure the public. Because the manhunt for Roland Drexler, which has kept the population around Altenfelden - which lies a little south-east of Oberkappel - on tenterhooks for a whole week and turned the region into a fortress.
