This morning, Franz Wrousis (51) ran amok. At about 9.30 he went to the office of the CSS health insurance company in Schaffhausen with a chainsaw and attacked several people. Two people were injured - one of them severely. Now he's on the run.
But who is the motorsaw man?
His former landlord Beat E. (64) describes Wrousis as introverted. From 2014 to 2016, Wrousis lived alone in a 1 1/2 room apartment in Beromünster LU. "He had received IV benefits due to a car accident. Since then he had had a trauma," E says.
"At first he was always pleased when I spoke to him. Towards the end of the tenancy, however, he became more and more weird " Wrousis would have left quite suddenly. "He practically left everything behind. Also his furniture and religious books. We had to dispose of them," the pharmacist says. However, the tenant did pay everything, the disposal was also covered. "I know he went to the Engadin after that. Maybe in a home. But I'm not sure."
Benjamin Schmid (34) from the Backpacker Deluxe Hotel Capricorn in Laax GR can also remember Wrousis. Three months ago he checked in with him. "He wanted to stay for a whole month, explaining that he needed distance from the outside world. He said he had ordered a VW Caddy. He wanted to go into the mountains with it. Simply far away from the people. He said something about bad vibes. "
But the already next day, Wrousis takes off again and hitches a ride with the Postauto. "He found me unsympathetic," Schmid says. "At the bar he told me I could see into his head. He was strange. He could not have stayed for a long time with his manners anyway. When I hear what he's done, I'm glad he was gone so quickly. He seems really dangerous. " To date, Schmid receives mail for Wrousis.
The next time Franz Wrousis appeared two or three months ago in Feuerthalen ZH, a neighboring community of Schaffhausen. As the eyewitness Fabienne Unger told "20 minutes", he camped in a secluded parking lot in the forest. There, too, he stood out negatively.
"He attacked me and my partner two times in the most violent verbal manner and shouted and offended us for no reason," according to the woman. She informed the police twice about this. But she did not think the man was dangerous.
Wrousis moves to the neighboring Uhwiesen ZH about four weeks ago. He parks his white VW Caddy in a parking lot at the edge of the forest, where he also sleeps. Before this, he places his "material" under a plastic tarp.
The municipality president of Uhwiesen ZH, Ruedi Karrer, lived only 300 meters from Wrousis abode. "I walked the dog past the spot every day," he says to BLICK.
On one occasion, his wife had spoken to him and asked whether he was a wanderer. "Then he told the dog that he had a great hairdresser, and afterwards spoke confused things about God."
The behavior of the eccentric one irritated the village population. Several reported Wrousis, according to Karrer, to the police. He was the talk of the village. Also because he became increasingly weird. "Then, two or three weeks ago, my colleague saw him with a bald head. And he had a chainsaw," a local woman says to 20 minutes."
On the other hand, President Karrer was not worried: "The police paid him a visit at the beginning, noted the number plate, and left a card with the message that he had to report. Since the police did nothing else, I thought he was safe."
But this was a false assumption, as it turned out. Wrousis ran amok with the chainsaw and went into hiding after that. The police are looking for him and say he is "dangerous, aggressive and mentally unstable".
Those who had dealings with the motor-saw man now raise allegations against the police: "If the police had been serious and taken a closer look, people would not have come to harm this morning."
