Police previously said it did not appear to be a random incident and they did not believe there was any ongoing risk to the community.
“There are circumstances that are evident at the crime scene that give us to suspect there was third-party involvement,” Inspector Geoff DeSanges told reporters. Handball Australia said Weiss had served as the national men’s coach since 2013, having arrived from Germany almost a decade earlier.He had recently been preparing the men’s team for the World Beach Games in Bali in August after Australia qualified as Oceania champions.“This tragic news has shocked our community,” Handball Australia said.
“Patrik took a great deal of enjoyment and satisfaction in developing the sport of beach handball, the growth of the players and building a positive team culture.“He will be sadly missed but remembered with affection and respect.” The International Handball Federation said Weiss had led Australia to three world championships and had an “exceptional influence” on the sport in his adopted country.If you’d like to view this content, please adjust your
