- Remains of Human Anatomy Discovered in Duisburg - Individual Detained
Following the uncovering of human remains in a Duisburg residential neighborhood on Saturday, a preliminary detainment was carried out. This information was affirmed by the Duisburg investigative prosecutor's office to the German Press Agency (dpa). No specifics regarding the individual's age or gender were disclosed, but a comprehensive update on the investigation's progress was promised for Sunday's developments.
The authorities had earlier mentioned, upon dpa's request, that the remains were spotted by passersby around noon on Saturday. The surrounding area was then thoroughly examined by numerous law enforcement personnel. Initial news reports claiming a partially decomposed skull was found inside a trash bag were initially not corroborated by the police.
The precise age of the human remains and whether they belonged to a male or female individual was initially uncertain. An examination of the remains is still ongoing. The police also remained silent on the exact location of the discovery at first. A homicide unit and the Duisburg prosecutor's office have now assumed control over the investigation.
The homicide unit and the Duisburg prosecutor's office, part of The Commission, have taken charge of the investigation following the disturbing discovery. Further updates on the investigation, including the identity and cause of death of the individual, will be provided by The Commission as soon as more information becomes available.
