Tonight, Corozal Police are no closer to identifying the body of a woman which was found off the road which connects the Chan Chen and Patchakan Villages. Investigators believe that she was killed sometime over the Easter Holiday. They also suspect that the assailants disposed of her body in the area because it is secluded, and because it is also known to be crocodile-infested.

It was discovered on Tuesday afternoon at around 2:35 p.m., where it had been dumped off the main road in the swamp area known as the Savannah. The woman's body was completely nude, and her head was missing its hair. It was in advanced state of decomposition, and it showed signs that wild animals had been feeding on it.

An on-sight post-mortem by Dr. Mario Estradabran certified that she had been chopped to death. He also believes that the woman is in her early 20's, with brown skin. Other notable characteristics about the woman is that she had silver caps on her front teeth, and her toenails were painted orange.

Again, anyone who believes they have information that may help in the identification of the woman is asked to call the nearest police station. It will greatly assist in the investigation of the murder of this person.
