COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Danish police arrested two people Monday on charges of murdering a man whose body was discovered in a sewer earlier this year.

The body of a 26-year-old Polish man was found Feb. 28 by crews doing work inside the sewer in the East Jutland area of Denmark, about 167 kilometres west of Copenhagen.

Authorities did not give a motive for the killing. The suspects are scheduled to be in court Tuesday for a closed-door hearing.
