After finding this body, the police began to collect evidence about the murder and found near the place where the homicide occurred two quite suspicious notes with the following: WatSahi Wa Kira desss or I am Kira in Spanish. The victim’s location was very close to the highest point in Brussels, possibly a more than symbolic place since Kira acts as the god of death in the manga using the Death Note of him.
An advertisement in a newspaper of The area requested several witnesses to collect information , being the one who most approached a blond man who was in that same place where the victim was found two days later, in addition to seeing the same man one day after the facts. The witness thought that the man was sleeping and did not pay much attention, but he did not ensure that the man was the victim.
The police established a cooperation with the working group Corpus, which was involved in the investigation of the serial killer The Mons butcher and a similar modus operandi was carried out. A month after the facts, news was published in a Belgian newspaper in which it was stated that detectives had not yet achieved any advance in the case. No one reported no person, body or body parts.
