The case dates back to 2014, when the body of a woman was found in the Harissenbuch area. She had fallen victim to a violent crime. The deceased was a 36-year-old prostitute who worked on the streets of Lucerne.
The Nidwalden cantonal police and the public prosecutor's office set up a special commission and combed through thousands of pages of case files again.
The police and the public prosecutor's office have reopened the case after more than ten years because modern forensic technology makes it possible to re-examine old evidence. "We hope to gain new insights as a result," said Alexandre Vonwil, the public prosecutor responsible, at the media conference.
