"He has the sort of injuries that make one suspect a crime has been committed."
"We think the crime scene is somewhere else,"
When police arrived on the scene, the ascertained that the man was dead and that he may have been the victim of a crime.
Do police here really talk like that or is this a poor translation? They find a dead body, with injuries consistant with having been murdered, and belive the body was dumped there, but they only THINK he may have been the victim of a crime?
Maybe he severly injuried himself but didn't want to be found wherever he was so he managed to dump his own body somewhere else.
hahaha, well, poles could be quite resourceful:)
If he did walk himself as some smart ass on here thinks, I'm sure the blood would have followed him. If you make a comment like that, I suspect you are involved 'U Citizen'. I will report you to the police.
He was the kindest person I knew so don't comment unless you know facts like I do.
Whoever did this will be caught and I hope they suffer the worst kind of pain life can bring, I will make sure of it.
