The tip sounded strange, but turned out to be a gruesome reality: Police officers in Greifswald (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) found a dismembered body in an apartment in the Hanseatic city late on Saturday evening. As the police announced on Sunday, 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 arrested immediately, the other was able to escape, but reported himself on Sunday 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.
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.
