Beheaded Maria
Inspector DNA exonerates the two suspects
It wasn't them after all: Inspector DNA has now exonerated the two men who were independently suspected of decapitating the Madonna in St. Mary's Cathedral in Linz.
A 73-year-old man from Linz and a 31-year-old man from Vienna, who were identified in September, did not behead the statue on July 1st and have been ruled out as the perpetrators, according to the police. Investigations are continuing, but so far there are no leads.
The lime wood sculpture entitled "crowning" was made by Tyrolean-born Esther Strauß, who created the figure with sculptor Theresa Limberger and restorer Klara Kohler. It is part of the "DonnaStage" project, which, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the consecration of St. Mary's Cathedral, explores issues relating to women's roles, family images and gender equality in art installations, workshops and discussions.
