It was four years ago that a barely five-year-old boy was killed by a heavy wooden figure on a vacation trip on the Gerlitzen. Since then there has been an argument about who set up the wooden goblin and was responsible for its safety. The trial on Wednesday at the Klagenfurt Regional Court was postponed until next Tuesday.
“What was going to happen there?” An 81-year-old snorts. “I attacked the wooden statues, everything worked out fine. The child must have climbed up, presumably with help too. ”With such thoughtless words, which portray little Valentine’s terrible death as carelessness, his mom jumps up and escapes from the Klagenfurt courtroom on Wednesday morning. It’s been four years since that her boy, barely five years old, was killed by a heavy wooden figure on a vacation trip on the Gerlitzen in front of the Almmuseum in the summer of 2017. The goblin weighed a good 80 kilograms and was not secured. A good two years after the tragic accident was investigated, there have been proceedings for two years: Witnesses are missing or remember nothing – and nobody wants anything to do with the boy’s death, neither the agricultural community nor the hut tenant or anyone else. Prosecutor Denise Ebner has charged three potentially responsible persons with grossly negligent homicide, one man is already incapable of standing – whether they are actually responsible, judge Ute Lambauer wants to decide next Tuesday.
