After the discovery of a dead man hidden upside down in a canal shaft in Niederkassel near Bonn, investigators were able to arrest a 40-year-old suspect on Sunday. A walker had discovered in the night on Sunday on the outskirts of Cologne, a pair of sneakers protruding from a manhole shaft and called the police.

The recovery dragged on until dawn, because the body, wrapped in blood-soaked blankets, had been showered with split; the material first had to be removed from the approximately one and a half meter deep shaft. As the "Bonner General-Anzeiger" reported, the perpetrator is said to have brought the Split with a wheelbarrow from a nearby riding stable. An emergency doctor could only determine the death of the man.

Shortly after the creepy find, investigators managed to arrest a suspect in the victim's nearby apartment. The alleged perpetrator is, according to the information, German, the victim Spanish. The suspect was, according to the findings of the investigators, subtenant of the 46-year-old victim. The two are said to have argued fiercely before the fact.
