He wanted to bring the Austrian doctor Kellermayr before a “people’s tribunal”, now a 59-year-old man from Bavaria is being investigated. He is said to have made massive threats to the doctor who has since died. The Munich public prosecutor has data carriers seized from him.
In the case of the Austrian vaccinator Lisa-Maria Kellermayr, who was threatened by opponents of vaccination and who died by suicide, the Munich public prosecutor’s office had the apartment of a suspect searched. Among other things, data carriers were secured from the 59-year-old, which now have to be evaluated, the investigating authority said. The man from the Starnberg district was cooperative.
The public prosecutor’s office in Wels, Austria, had pointed out the suspect. An investigation is now underway against him for threatening and stalking Kellermayr. The search warrant was obtained during this process.
According to the Attorney General, the suspicion is based on statements made by the accused on the Internet and in social media. One of his statements, which was also shared on Twitter, was, “We are watching you and we will bring such creatures before the people’s tribunals to be set up in the future”.
The Austrian vaccinator was found dead in her practice in the Vöcklabruck district a week ago. Among other things, she had reported on her website from months of intimidation to death threats “from the Covid measures and anti-vaccination scene” – and finally closed her practice, citing this. The doctor wrote on Twitter at the end of June that working conditions “like the ones we have experienced over the past few months” cannot be expected of anyone.
The 36-year-old family doctor was reportedly under police protection for a long time. However, she did not feel sufficiently protected by the police and authorities and, according to her own statements, spent around 100,000 euros on protective measures. In several farewell letters, Kellermayr criticized the behavior of the authorities and complained that a lot had been said but nothing done.
Austria’s Minister of the Interior, Gerhard Karner, has since written to the country’s police officers against the impression that the police have done too little to protect the doctor. On the contrary, the authorities have done a lot, according to the letter quoted by the Austrian news agency APA. “A knee-jerk and general badmouthing of police officers and police work in our country is (…) completely inappropriate and inadmissible.”
