A 41-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman have been remanded in custody for four weeks in connection with the death of a 26-year-old Polish man, whose body was discovered in a sewer in February. East Jutland Police confirmed the detention via X.

The pair, who were arrested on Monday morning in Viby J, both deny any involvement in the crime and have reserved the right to appeal the detention order.

The charges against them allege that they murdered the Polish man before February 7, 2025, using a knife and pistol. According to the indictment, the killing is believed to have been committed jointly and by prior agreement, potentially involving other unidentified individuals.

In addition to the murder charge, they are also accused of improper handling of a corpse, specifically concealing the victim’s body in a wastewater well in Harlev after his death.

The 41-year-old man is of Polish nationality, while the 30-year-old woman is Danish; both are residents of Denmark.
