According to the police, the victim is without the clothes he had found earlier that day and his bag has also disappeared: “We will not make any statements when asked whether he was undressed,” the police said.
His initially disappeared phone was handed in by honest finders in a bookstore in Egmond. The victim appears to have taken the bus from Alkmaar to Egmond in the morning, where he got off at the lighthouse.
Violence
“We are now 100 percent sure that the man, a resident of Alkmaar, was killed by violence. We are not making any announcements about the manner in which he was killed in connection with the investigation, because this concerns specific criminal information,” the police spokesman confirmed.
The police are asking witnesses who may have heard or seen something in the dune area to come forward. Men who have been in the area can safely contact Crime Anonymous or Roze in Blauw. Passers-by found the body on Sunday in a dune area owned by the water company PWN.
