Germany - A Munich man suspected of murder after he was seen carrying what a neighbour thought was a dead body into his apartment was cleared after he showed police his collection of rubber sex dolls.
A police spokesperson on Tuesday said the neighbour called to say he saw the man carrying a "corpse" into the apartment. Police responding to the call found the suspect to be "surprised and disturbed" by their questions at first.
"When the officers then told the man they were investigating a murder he showed them his newly acquired silicon sex doll," the spokesperson said.
"The man also showed the officers four other inflatable sex dolls he owns. Apparently, he had just been testing out his new acquisition when police arrived."
The spokesperson said the police then left the apartment and closed the file. "They didn't want to disturb him any longer," the spokesperson said.
