Police officer who led the initial investigation
“Though it had been only two days, the body was decomposing very fast – likely due to how exposed it was to the elements. The face was not recognisable. The medical report confirmed rape, and we found eight wounds on her body. It appears that she was murdered and dumped in the area where animals attacked the body.”
