visitor Antja Herkommer -- a week after she was found strangled.

Late yesterday afternoon Police were unable to say what he will be charged with.

"As far as I'm aware he has not yet been charged,'' said Police spokesman Sgt. John Dale.

Miss Herkommer's body was examined yesterday by English forensic pathologist Dr. Richard Sheppard.

He confirmed the dark-haired 27-year-old school teacher died from strangulation and a head wound.

Sgt. Dale declined to elaborate on the autopsy.

Meanwhile yesterday the political temperature hotted up as Independent MP Harry Viera criticised "limp-wristed'' expressions of regret over the tragedy.

He called on leaders in the community to combine to give a more forceful sympathetic reaction to the victim's grieving family.

Miss Herkommer, who taught at a Swiss school, was killed last week during a visit to the Maritime Museum, Dockyard.

She had flown over to the Island to spend the Easter holiday with her sister, Miss Christine Herkommer, who works at a Crisson jewellery store.

Her body was discovered by Police at around 4.30 p.m. on Good Friday. It is believed to have been lying in an underground tunnel.

Identification and examination was carried out at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.

Miss Herkommer had been last seen by her sister at 8.45 a.m. on Thursday.

The pair had arranged to meet at 5 p.m. outside a jewellery store in Front Street.

The museum has remained closed since the body was discovered.

The tragedy has stunned people in the sisters' small home village of Rechberg, near Schwabish Gmund, in southern Germany.

Relatives of the victim were too distressed yesterday to talk to German reporters.

Efforts to limit damage to Bermuda's image have already been started by overseas tourism officials.

And expressions of regret and sympathy have been sent in a letter to the parents by Tourism Minister the Hon. C.V. (Jim) Woolridge.

He has also written to Miss Christine Herkommer, and spoken over the phone.

Mr. Viera, however, yesterday called for a more "wholesale'' expression of regret.

And he warned of the possible consequences to Bermuda's tourism industry.

"The response so far has been limp-wristed. It's just not good enough,'' he said.
