Knife attack in Dublin: Swiss among victims and those arrested!
A deadly incident occurred in a shocking knife attack in Dublin on Sunday that left one man dead and several people injured. Irish police said the crime did not appear to have a terrorist background. According to reports from oe24.at Both the victim and the perpetrator were identified as Swiss-Irish dual citizens. The attack occurred in the Stoneybatter district when at least one of the victims was attacked outside his home. The suspect, who is said to have used an ordinary household knife, was arrested at the scene.
The background to the violent confrontation appears to lie in the victim's personal environment. According to reports, there was an earlier confrontation before the man, identified as the victim's son, intervened and inflicted multiple stab wounds on his father. Despite resuscitation measures that were immediately initiated, the rescue workers were no longer able to help.
New lead in the Annecy murder case
Meanwhile, police draw ties to Switzerland in the unsolved quadruple murder in Annecy, France. How tagesanzeiger.ch reported, it is suspected that the perpetrator had shooting techniques that are taught in Switzerland. In September 2012, four people were murdered near Annecy - a gruesome act that still remains a mystery to this day. An expert report suggests that the perpetrator comes from Switzerland, as the weapon used, an old Luger pistol, was once used by the Swiss army.
The investigators are continuing to work on solving the case and are also looking into possible connections to a Dane who was near the murder scene at the time of the crime. The controversial data about the background and motives for the crimes cast a dark light on these two tragic incidents.
