Witnesses in Carinthia Are Asked to Contact the Police

The eight-year-old ran to a woman who was near the cemetery - however, a report to the police was only made two days later, which is why the investigations have so far been unsuccessful. The suspect is described as an approximately 1.80-meter tall, slim man with dark curly hair and dark eyes. He was driving a black delivery van with tinted windows. Witnesses are now asked to contact the police - if similar incidents occur, those affected should immediately call the police emergency number.
