Jehovah's Witnesses breathe a sigh of relief after the assassin was finally caught! The 55-year-old suspect, who confessed at his workplace after his arrest, lived a secluded life and had hardly any contact with his neighbors. This is what residents reported during our local inspection in Premstätten.

On the morning of Corpus Christi Day, the tranquil single-family home neighborhood in Premstätten returned to its usual calm. Police cars, the demining service and the Red Cross have left, residents are walking their dogs again and two neighbors are discussing the major operation from the previous evening.
