German man's smelly feet trigger police raid
BERLIN, July 8 (Reuters) - German police broke into a
darkened flat fearing they would find a dead body after
neighbours complained of a nasty smell seeping out onto the
staircase.
The shutters of the apartment had been closed for more than
a week and the postbox was filled with uncollected mail.
But instead of a corpse police found a tenant with badly
smelling feet asleep in bed next to a pile of foul-smelling
laundry, police in the southwestern town of Kaiserslautern said
on Sunday.
