The police and the Public Prosecution Service have not been able to find an explanation for several decapitated animals that were found earlier this year in Capelle aan den IJssel. There was no DNA present from a person or a predator.
In April, May and June of this year, the police received several reports of beheaded and killed animals in the Schollebos in Capelle aan den IJssel. Among other things, it included beheaded geese, a beheaded parakeet and a dead cat, chicken, crow and hare.
In June, the police said that the same person was behind the actions. But three months later, the police write that “it cannot be determined how and under what circumstances the animals have died”.
A number of animals have been sent to the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) for DNA research, but that did not lead to results. No DNA of a human or a predator was found in the animals. Because some animals were already in a far state of dissolution, DNA testing was no longer possible in those cases.
The mayor of Capelle aan den IJssel said in June that it is “unacceptable that animals are being mistreated or killed”, and that the police “give high priority to detecting the perpetrator or perpetrators”.
The police said that in the past period no more animals have been found in the Schollebos that died under suspicious circumstances. The police do say they stay alert.
