It really is almost like a curse: for years, the 1070-strong community of Kirchberg ob der Donau has been dogged by bad luck, with one stroke of fate following the next. The next drama occurred on New Year's Day of all days, when a Rottweiler attacked a six-year-old girl.

"Something's happened again!" - nerves are on edge in the 1070-strong community of Kirchberg ob der Donau (Upper Austria). After the bloody autumn with the madness surrounding the double murderer Roland Drexler (56), it seemed as if some peace would finally return to the actually quite idyllic village.
