First picture of Austrian school shooter who killed 10 in horrific massacre
The killer pleaded with his mum for forgiveness before the tragedy. This is the gunman who murdered 10 people in cold blood in the worst school shooting Austria has ever seen - after begging for his mum's forgiveness. A photograph of 21-year-old Arthur A holding a cat is the first image of him to be released following the tragedy. The Mirror reports he pleaded with his mum before committing the atrocity. He reportedly begged for his mother's forgiveness in a farewell video message before storming the school wielding a rifle and pistol and murdering 10 people. His victims included classmates and a teacher. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

In a cubicle of the school toilets he used one of the firearms to take his own life, bringing an end to the carnage. The "bullied" drop out sent the video to his mum just moments before he opened fire. He begged for her to forgive him for "what I'm about to do". Had his mother opened the message when she received it, she may have been able to alert police in time. However, she watched it 24 minutes after receiving it. By that time, Arthur had already left a trail of bodies after shooting nine children aged between 15 and 17, and an adult female teacher, who was 47 years old. He left another 11 people with serious injuries, though authorities have confirmed they are now in stable condition in hospital. People who knew Arthur said it was likely an act of vengeance. The 21-year-old had failed to pass sixth form exams and dropped out of school. His suicide note, which was found at his home in the same city, described him having been "bullied".

Madeleine McCann police in 'major breakthrough' with Christian Brueckner probe
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An expert has suggested that new evidence may "significantly strengthen" the case against Christian Brueckner, the suspect in the Madeleine McCann disappearance. A grim new documentary about Madeleine McCann has unveiled distressing discoveries at Christian Brueckner's abode, which include images of children in swimming attire, toddler toys, and appalling stories of child snatching. During the investigation, an 80gb hard drive was unearthed, containing photos and a computer key, possibly providing the impetus for detectives to associate the suspect with Madeleine's vanishing. The contents of the hard drive also positioned Brueckner at the epicentre of the search zone around Arades Dam in Portugal. It was disclosed in the documentary that Brueckner expressed desires to "capture something small and use it for days". Robert Green, a Professor of Forensic Science at the University of Kent, opines that finding "mask, guns, and hard drive" may necessitate a more intensive inquiry into Brueckner's history. Speaking to The Mirror, he remarked: "The discovery of items such as a mask, guns, and particularly the hard drive, indicates a potential link to further criminal activity, which may warrant a more thorough investigation of the suspect's past," reports the Mirror. It's thought the fresh search is linked to the continued quest for answers in the Madeleine McCann case, with the hope that new evidence might crack it. Investigators constantly review existing evidence and chase leads they think might pay off, especially in cases that have gone unsolved for years. A newly unearthed letter from prime suspect Brueckner is said to mock German police's efforts to tie him to Madeleine McCann's disappearance. In the handwritten note, seen by German newspaper Bild, he allegedly writes: "Are there any traces of her in my vehicle? Any other traces of her in my possession? Photos? Is there a body? No, no, no." A document also places the suspect at the location of a search for Madeleine McCann, where he reportedly said "she did not scream" while discussing the British toddler with an associate. He also shares a chilling kidnapping story, including: "A very small girl enters the room. She's definitely not older than five." The latest search for clues related to Madeleine McCann's disappearance lasted three days in Praia da Luz last week, near where Brueckner is known to have camped. Brueckner spent time in the Praia de Luz area of Portugal between 2000 and 2017, with his home just a mile from the Ocean Club, where the McCann family stayed when Madeleine vanished on May 3, 2007. Years on, investigators reportedly discovered that his mobile phone had received a call near the holiday flat complex approximately an hour before the three year old was reported missing.
