Headless body sparks major federal police operation in Germany.
The discovery of an apparent headless body near a park stream triggered a major federal police operation in southern Germany.
A passer-by spotted what appeared to be a clothed but headless corpse covered in blood lying by a stream in Remstal, near Stuttgart, on Monday evening.
A police wide federal cordon was set up around the area and 20 firefighter units attended the scene to retrieve the body with counter terror units, gang crime and murder squads on standby – only to find that it was a high tech unltra lifelike dummy.
“It really looked like a dead body,” a police spokesman said.
It was only once firefighters got close enough that it was confirmed that it was not a corpse, German newspaper Bild reported.
Pictures showed the dummy dressed in a striped yellow and black long-sleeve top and jeans, covered in blood.
Authorities are now trying to track down the owners and manufacturers to discover whether this was an abandoned movie prop or a sick prank.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
