Our neighboring province of South Tyrol is puzzling over the gruesome death of 24-year-old Aaron Engl. The popular Schuhplattler was found almost completely decapitated in his car. The investigation is in full swing. Now there are new findings and suspicions from this night of horror - and shocking parallels to another chainsaw massacre.

What happened on the night of August 18 in the small municipality of Terenten? Shocked tourists found the 24-year-old local man bleeding out in his Mitsubishi on the Wieseralm. There was a deep gash in his neck and the police announced a short time later that the body had almost been decapitated. A chainsaw lay a few meters away.
