Abstract

7 cases of "dumping" of the bodies of drug addicts are reported. Circumstances of the case, findings at the scene, autopsy findings and confessions raised already the suspicion that the bodies were not found at the scene of death. In 5 cases the "dumping" of the bodies was outside, in 2 cases inside a house. Identification of the bodies was always easy, since personal papers (passport, identity card) were still present and no attempts were made to prevent identification. The prevalent motivation for "dumping" seems to be not to be identified as drug addict or dealer or to be brought in connection with the death of drug addicts.
