VG has spoken with one of the neighbors of the deceased woman. Together with two other residents of the village, they found the victim.
– We sensed that something was wrong, and locked us into the residence. I stood outside, while the other two went inside. It was not long before they came out and shouted “she is killed, call the police.” It all is disturbing. I can not be shocked, I just think this is terrible, says neighbor told VG.
