A crime shakes Greifswald: in an attempt to cover up a murder, the suspected perpetrators go beyond all limits. The investigation into the case is still in its early stages.
The tip sounded strange, but turned out to be a terrible reality: police officers in Greifswald (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) found a dismembered body in an apartment in the Hanseatic city late on Saturday evening.
According to the police, two men had come forward immediately and said they had been asked to help transport someone who had been killed. The body is in an apartment, dismantled into individual parts. There are photos.
Officers then drove to the specified apartment and discovered the bodies there. “There were a lot of individual parts,” reported a police spokeswoman. One of the two alleged perpetrators was immediately arrested, the other was able to escape, but reported himself and was arrested without resistance in a public parking lot. As a precaution, special forces from the State Criminal Police Office were called in for this purpose.
Investigations have been initiated
The police assume that the violent act occurred on Friday. The more precise circumstances and motives as well as the question of the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim are the subject of the investigations that have been initiated. The suspects, aged 27 and 28, should be brought before the judge.
According to the information, the two Germans are already known to the police for crimes of brutality, including multiple bodily harm. There is an assumption about the victim that he belonged to the suspect’s circle of acquaintances, as did the two whistleblowers. They were probably called because they owned a car that was supposed to be used to transport the body parts.
