The police authorities in Chania have been on alert since noon on Tuesday to clear up the incredible crime which was revealed by chance during the process of sorting the mixed waste at the factory of the Intermunicipal Solid Waste Management Company in Akrotiri, Chania.

According to Flashnews.gr, manual sorting workers, at approximately 15:30, were horrified to see a human head coming out of a bag and immediately informed the authorities.

According to newer information, while initially there was the impression that it was a woman’s head, it was finally established that it is the head of a dark-skinned man, probably of Asian origin aged 30 – 40 years. In fact, the condition of the macabre find suggests that the heinous crime must have taken place in the last ten days.

According to information, the police authorities investigating the case take it for granted that the remaining members of the – for now – unidentified man, will have been distributed in other bags and the relevant investigations are being continued by the Security Sub-Directorate of Chania.

Yes, a few hours later, his lower limbs were also found in another bag. However, the key point is to find his hands, in order to be able to take fingerprints.

It is also crucial to ascertain the origin of the waste truck, as waste from all the Municipalities of the prefecture of Chania goes to the factory.

In addition to the police, a medical examiner went to the DEDISA factory, while it should be noted that no disappearance has been reported to the police authorities.

However, solving the crime is considered to be particularly difficult due to the closed community of foreigners of Asian origin, to whom the investigations of the prosecuting authorities are expected to turn.
