Police fish special ‘corpse’ from Twentekanaal near Almen: ‘I have not experienced this in 43 years’ | back corner

What is floating there for something pink in the middle of the Twente Canal near Almen? The police err on the side of caution and turn out en masse. A corpse in the water, everyone mumbles on the side. Nothing turns out to be less true.

It is busy on the normally so quiet Scheggerdijk along the Twente Canal near Almen. Several police cars are parked on the roadside. Two large inland vessels are stationary on either side. A mountain biker stops to watch. Not surprising, because coming from the direction of Zutphen a big police boat collide.

Floating body

It is three o’clock in the afternoon and the police are fully focused. A body is said to be floating in the Twente Canal. About two hours ago, the police received a photo of a fisherman. Immediately alarm bells start ringing. Also with duty officer Toon Rikken. He’s setting up a crime scene.
