There were knife cuts all over her body especially the neck part of and left stark naked.

“With that kind of machete cut, she was supposed to be in the pool of her blood but there was no blood seen around there which may be that the act might have been committed somewhere else and they now carried her from there and dumped her body at the location where the police found her. Nobody has come to identify her body.
