Alleged shooter made video before attack

Friday, 15 December 2023 06:30

The man in custody for allegedly shooting dead two in canton Valais at the beginning of the week released a video before the attack took place.

In it he said he had plans and he’s not going back.

The video was sent to various media outlets. He attempts to justify the attacks and says he’s been a victim for many years.

It lasts over an hour and at times is highly specific – even naming those who were shot.

Legal experts say the video could be used by the prosecution to charge the man with assassination – which could lead to a stronger sentence if he’s convicted.
