A burglar who discovered a dead body hanging in a Hamilton house is unlikely to
face charges for the break-in.
The 26-year-old man made the grisly discovery early yesterday morning while
attempting to burgle the vacant house in the suburb of Fairfield.
Hamilton Police city tactical coordinator Senior Sergeant Freda Grace said the
burglar, who
called police himself to raise the alarm, had been arrested but not charged.
Mrs Grace said the man was released after helping police with their inquiries.
The incident unfolded in the early hours of yesterday morning when the burglar
stumbled across the dead body hanging in the dark.
His screams alerted neighbors who also phoned police. It’s understood they
thought the screaming was a domestic dispute.
Mrs Grace said the victim had died hours before the burglary but if not for the
break-in he may not have been found for days. She said the death of the man,
whose age is unknown,
was not being treated as suspicious and had been referred to the coroner.
The burglar was known to police and Mrs Grace hoped the “weird” circumstances
would alter his behavior.
