Dutch police found the body of a kidnaped tycoon buried in a forest after his abductor admitted murdering his captive seven months ago and led authorities to the grave, officials said. The discovery of the body of grocery baron Gerrit Jan Heijn ended the nation’s longest kidnap case. Heijn’s body was dug up near the village of Renkum in northeastern Holland. An unemployed architect admitted kidnaping Heijn, 56, in September and shooting him to death hours later. Most of the ransom of about $4.3 million and 1,200 diamonds paid by Heijn’s family was found in the suspect’s home, authorities said.
