The case of Roland Drexler

Even a double murderer must be laid to rest

After the double murder in the Mühlviertel region, the date for the funeral of the perpetrator Roland Drexler has yet to be set. Because even murderers have a right to a final resting place. As a rule, however, this takes place without a large mass - and not without reason, of course.

It is now more than two weeks since Roland Drexler (56) killed two people in the Mühlviertel region with targeted shots to the head. He himself was able to go into hiding after the crimes, and it was only five days later that the wanted double murderer himself was found dead in a wooded area between the two crime scenes. An autopsy is now to clarify when Drexler actually died - the results of the investigation are expected in the coming weeks.
