Stefan Mross response to 2021 family murders

Overview

German musician Stefan Mross has addressed the 2021 double murder of his aunt and cousin near Salzburg. In interviews, Mross described the event as a tragedy that destroyed his family, recalling the difficulty of learning about the crime via a phone call from his brother.

The victims were shot ten times in their home by the cousin’s former partner, who was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment by an Austrian court. Mross stated that he does not seek revenge or support the death penalty, noting that the perpetrator should simply remain imprisoned. He has reiterated that, despite the crime's profound impact on his family—particularly his mother—he wishes the individual ‘the best’.

In addition to discussing the murders, Mross has spoken about other personal challenges, including the end of his 30-year tenure with the program ‘Immer wieder sonntags’ and the intense hostility and death threats he and his partner, Eva Luginger, have faced due to their relationship.
