After the murder of the police commander in Trieben in Upper Styria, the officers were quickly promised a new police station. But the costs are still too high for the Ministry of Finance. What's the problem? The "Krone" knows the background.

At the murder trial, the testimony of the police officer who arrested the shooter at the Trieben police station gave observers goose bumps: "I heard shots and thought I was next. I can barely make it into the station and have trouble sleeping." The other officers are also reminded on a daily basis of the terrible crime a year and a half ago, when a colleague shot the post commander.
