An incredible act was carried out in Bonn, Germany, as a 38-year-old man left the severed head of a person in front of the district court. It was some passers-by who called the police. "We found out a little later that it was a human head," a spokesman said Tuesday.
It is learned that the victim is a 44-year-old, but the identity is not yet certain.
Shortly after being notified of the beheading, police found a body, but also drew a parallel between the Bonn incident and the unsolved murder of homeless Gerd Michael Straten, formerly in Koblenz.
His severed body was unearthed in the main cemetery in Koblenz in 2018.
Meanwhile, the severed head, which was placed at the entrance of the Bonn district court on Tuesday evening, will be examined by the forensic department.
A police spokesman announced the same goes for the rest of the body, which investigators found a mile away on Tuesday.
Officials now want to clarify whether the 38-year-old suspect, arrested in Bonn has or had links to Koblenz and whether the clues provided by the crime scene in Koblenz match the clues of the crime scene from the Bonn case.
The 38-year-old suspect, who was arrested by police on Tuesday near the district court, has so far remained silent about the incident. However, he accurately described the body's location off the banks of the Rhine to investigators.
According to the information, the 38-year-old suspect is known to the police primarily for crimes related to narcotics. According to initial investigations, the perpetrator and the victim may have clashed in a homeless center and then the crime occurred.
