iDnes: Czech police close to wrapping up investigation of Hrůza attack

Czech police are reportedly close to completing their investigation of two suspects alleged to have brutally attacked popular singer and composer Michal Hrůza in Ostrava in the early hours of July 17 this year. According to Czech news site iDnes, only formalities remain before the investigation wraps up. Two students – cousins aged 18 and 19 – allegedly attacked Mr Hrůza (43) after he attempted to break up an argument. The singer, the former frontman for Ready Kirken, was struck and hit his head, leading to haemorrhaging in his brain and brain damage. He underwent emergency surgery and was kept in an induced coma for two weeks before he was awakened. Originally, the police had hoped to question Hrůza himself but the singer reportedly has no memory of the attack. According to unofficial information, there are eyewitness accounts which the police have access to. If found guilty, the duo could face between five and 12 years behind bars.
