A dog's head was found in a plastic bag in the schoolyard of a Hamburg elementary school.
The background to the incident on Tuesday morning is still completely unclear, said a police spokesman.
The caretaker informed the police officer assigned to the school about the find.
According to the »Mopo«, children had previously discovered the severely decomposed head and pulled it out of the bag.
The police did not confirm the find by the school children when asked.
According to the police spokesman, the investigation is now underway – for example, whether the animal was killed in the act or whether it had been dead for a long time.
If the head was only improperly disposed of, it could be a misdemeanor, according to the police.
