Business stress is thought to be behind the murder of a manager of a paint shop in the town of Vögelsang in canton Aargau.
Police were called to the shop on Monday morning after a 47-year-old man was found dead, he’d been shot.
Shortly after, police arrested his 51-year-old colleague.
The two men were business partners – but it seems the company was in financial difficulty and debt collectors had ordered an auction of some of the company’s shares.
Investigations continue.
