The police in Austria started intensive commitment to hold the fleeting hunter Roland Drexler, who is considered a suspected double killer. According to current reports, Drexler was spotted early Wednesday morning in Burgenland, very close to the Hungarian border. The ORF broadcaster has reported that the emergency services also use drones and detection dogs to support the search after information from the population has been received.

Drexler is accused of having killed the mayor of Kirchberg OB der Donau, Franz Hofer, on Monday morning. The incident took place in Upper Austria. The situation continued to escalate when he also shot a 64-year-old former hunting director and retired police officer with a targeted head shot during his escape. These cruel deeds are apparently related to disputes among hunters because Hofer had previously reported him.

Current search and security

The police take all incoming information from the population seriously and carefully checks them. A police spokesman commented on the current threat situation and found that "you can never rule out anything." It was emphasized that Drexler is assessed as "very, very dangerous". He could be in possession of two long weapons and a fist fir weapon that belongs legally.

In addition to the large police operation in Oberpullendorf, he continues to search for him. Drexler could possibly be traveling with a silver VW Caddy. Due to the serious threat, around 50 people from his personal environment are under police protection to ensure their security.

The developments in this case are alarming and require a particularly cautious approach on the part of the authorities. It remains to be seen how the situation continues to develop and whether it is possible to quickly grasp the fleeting perpetrator.
