The major security police operation in the Mühlviertel that began on October 28, 2024 was ended on November 2, 2024 after the suspect’s body was found. Interior Minister Gerhard Karner took this development of the situation as an opportunity to address the police officers deployed, but also their relatives and the population.
“First of all, I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the families, relatives and friends of the murdered,” said Interior Minister Gerhard Karner.
The decisive factor in the operation was the successful interdisciplinary cooperation between various units under the most difficult and dangerous conditions within the police family.
“The entire Upper Austrian police, together with the Cobra task force and many police forces from other federal states, such as operational units or service dog units, have successfully carried out one of the largest manhunts in recent decades in an unprecedented collaboration over the past few days. I would like to thank everyone – from the district forces to the criminal investigation service to the special and special forces – sincerely and with the greatest respect for this highly professional and consistent intervention. My thanks also go to the local population for their understanding and support in our measures.”
“I would also like to thank the public for their decisive and active cooperation in the search by providing us with 400 tips, including two that made a significant contribution to clearing up the case,” concluded Karner.
