Fatal shot in Spittal: New details about the tragedy at the Bundesheer

In the Turkish barracks in Spittal an der Drau, a tragic incident occurred on October 22, in which a 21-year-old basic military serviceer was fatally injured by a shot from the service pistol of another soldier. Recently published information, clarified that the weapon was not attached to the victim's body, which further illustrates the circumstances of the event. According to Markus Kitz, spokesman for the Klagenfurt public prosecutor, this was an important question that was in the room, but was not the result of the extensive report or the investigation.

The cause of death is clear: the soldier suffered a lung shot and death from the shot. Before the incident, there was little clarity about the distance between the two soldiers during the shot, which made the investigation difficult. However, it is fixed that the wax soldier who gave up the shot indicates that an accident had occurred and it was not an intention to kill.

Details of the incident

The tragic shot occurred when a shot from the wax soldier's service pistol detached for reasons that had not yet been clarified. In the incident, the 21-year-old soldier was seriously injured and flown to the Klagenfurt Clinic, but he died shortly after his admission. The public prosecutor, on the other hand, sees in the descriptions of the accused contradictions that substantiate the argument of an intention to kill. A first ballistic report cannot support the suspects' statements.

After the incident, the accused remains in custody. The case continues to employ the judiciary, and the next detention survey is scheduled for December 9th. The investigation into this incident raises many questions, and the clarity about the exact course remains uncertain.
