Man who shot ex-partner dies in hospital

A 29-year-old man who shot his ex-girlfriend dead on the premises of the regional office in Zlín last month and then attempted suicide has died as a result of his injuries, Czech Police announced on Wednesday. The shooter died towards the end of last week.

The man used a gun registered with another person. His girlfriend was an employee at the regional office located inside the Baťa's Skyscraper building in Zlín. He then shot himself in the head.

Zlín Regional Governor Radim Holiš said that the murder-suicide was the result of a personal problem between two young people and had nothing to do with the office itself.
