Terror Attack in Villach: Investigations Concluded

The Klagenfurt public prosecutor's office confirmed a corresponding report by ORF Carinthia on Thursday.

The 23-year-old asylum seeker from Syria randomly stabbed people near the main square of Villach on February 15, before being stopped by a Syrian compatriot who hit him with a car. At the time of the crime, the 23-year-old was sane and not under the influence of drugs. Since his arrest at the scene, the man has been in pre-trial detention.

Villach Attack: Accused Was Interrogated for the Last Time on Tuesday

The accused was interrogated for the last time on Tuesday. Since all other investigation results are available, the Klagenfurt public prosecutor's office is now preparing its report. Because the case is considered one of great public interest, the public prosecutor's office must report to the senior public prosecutor's office before charges are filed. The trial against the 23-year-old could take place later this year.
