KALININGRAD, June 22 (Itar-Tass) - The mutilated body of a man was found in the enclosure with three Himalayan bears in the Kaliningrad Zoo last night. The victim, Ostevik Stig Even, 29, is a Norwegian citizen and was in Kaliningrad with the rest of the crew of the ship Pioneer which is being repaired at the local shipyard. Police have rejected a premeditated murder because money, gold rings, other valuables and documents, by which he was identified, were found on him. Witnesses say the man was seen in the area of the zoo in the previous evening in a company of several drunk people. An employee of the local forensic medicine bureau said the man smelled of alcohol. Police believe the sailor simply fell asleep in the zoo and when he woke up after midnight he could not understand where he was and must have mistaken the guard rail of the bear enclosure for the zoo fence and, trying to climb it, ended up in the enclosure.
