Sewer problems led to the discovery of a dead 26-year-old man

Dead man found in sewer leads to murder investigation

The police are currently investigating the case as a murder.

On Friday afternoon, the body of a 26-year-old man was found in a sewer in Harlev J, East Jutland. The deceased is a Polish citizen.

East Jutland Police are currently investigating the case as a murder.

The sewer problems were the reason that the police are now conducting a murder investigation.

This is written in a press release by East Jutland Police.

Therefore, the police are particularly interested in hearing from witnesses who may have seen "suspicious behavior" in the time leading up to Thursday, February 6, or in the days leading up to it.

- The explanation for this specific time period is that it was around this time that the first residents in the nearby area began to report sewer problems, which were attempted to be fixed on multiple occasions, sounds like it says in the press release.

The sewer cleaning was near the drainage basin north of Edelhoffvej, where the first body parts, according to the police, were found.

The police are still in the area to secure evidence.

- We have had a massive support for the work from a wide range of good partners throughout the weekend and Monday, including especially the Civil Protection Authority and Aarhus Water, who have helped with equipment and personnel to search a larger area around the relevant sewer, says acting police inspector Flemming Nørgaard in the press release.

- The work continues for an unknown period of time, but we thank for the great help we have already received in this atypical case, it continues.

Unknown cause of death

---------------------

The police have not yet determined how the 26-year-old man died, nor has the time of his death been determined.

According to the police, the 26-year-old will be autopsied today.

- East Jutland Police does not wish to provide further details about the 26-year-old man at this time, but the police can confirm that he was already known to the police, for which reason it was also possible to identify, writes the police.

According to the press release, the deceased primarily resided in the area around central Randers.

- Why he was found dead in the sewer at Harlev J, the police have not yet clarified, as he did not have a direct connection to the area, writes the police.

There are still no arrests or suspects in the case.

Present in the area

In the press release, it is stated that the police want to hear from witnesses who may have seen or heard something suspicious around the drainage basin, which runs parallel to Stillingvej in Harlev a little north of Edelhoffvej.

The police also inform that on Monday between 15 and 19 they are present with the mobile police station on the parking lot in front of the supermarket Meny on Gammel Stillingvej in Harlev J.

Here there is the possibility to contact the police with questions.

- We hope to meet as many as possible, so we can answer some of the questions and concerns that the residents may have in connection with the case.

- But we also hope naturally to meet some residents who may have seen or heard something suspicious around the site or have knowledge relevant to the police, says acting police inspector Flemming Nørgaard in the press release.

The police will also be present on Tuesday afternoon in the same time period and at the same location.
