As Man & (Dutch) Wife

Police launched a major murder investigation after a corpse was sighted in the mountains, sending 15 police to the scene and mobilising a crack team of 30 investigators. The corpse turned out to be a forlorn Dutch wife (love doll), dumped in the mountains after outliving its usefulness.

We heard before of the female corpse which sparked a major manhunt only to turn out to be a highly realistic sex doll; the man (60) responsible for its careless disposal has been apprehended, and it appears he took the Dutch wife as literal wife, living together with “her” for many years after his wife passed away.
