Mysterious death in the control tower

French police murder faces full of questions. A 34 year old man has been stabbed in the workplace. This could be one more crime in the statistics but for one detail: it has been in the airport control tower Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (located in eastern France, at the confluence of the borders of Switzerland and Germany) , a high security area where only authorized persons have access.

The victim, who was chief of the driver and father of a child, went to join his post when he was five or six fatal stabbings in the throat and chest. Another employee has found, already dead, surrounded by a pool of blood on the landing of the tenth floor of the tower in an area without a security camera located between the elevator and the staircase leading to the control room.

Although the Office of Mulhouse has opened an immediate investigation by "murder" has not yet been interrogated a suspect. For now, police have ruled that it was an attempted terrorist or a thief and search for clues in the professional environment of the victim. "We tend to think that aggression is concerned.

A priori death unrelated to the work of the victim or the task that was to play", assured the director of research, Christian Reeb, was quoted by French media. Among the tracks include recordings from security cameras of the parking lot and two calls recorded by the emergency services warning of the emergence of the body and which is still unknown author.

The death of the employee of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation French is the darkest page in the history of the airport, the only binational world since, but the tracks are on French soil, its facilities include a Swiss customs area and both countries share address, in which German representatives there.

The self Euroairport opened in 1946 and is almost a symbol of the new era that opened up for Western Europe after the Second World War. In the heart of the Old Continent, more than four million passengers each year come there mainly bound to Basel (in Switzerland, five kilometers), Mulhouse (France, 25 kilometers) or Freiburg (Germany, 70 km) .
