Man charged over shooting dead of labour office employee

The state prosecutor has charged a man who last year shot dead an employee at a labour office in Prague. The man confessed to the police that he had killed the female staff member.

The perpetrator, who is 66, could face what is referred to as an exceptional punishment, including life imprisonment. He is also charged with attempted murder, attempted grievous bodily harm, possession of two illegal firearms and damage to property.
