Curious about the source of the stench, he moved closer and, to his surprise, discovered the decomposing body of an unidentified woman.

The man immediately alerted the authorities, prompting officers from Kiugoine Police Station and Kagotho Police Post, alongside detectives and Crime Scene Investigation officers, to visit the scene.

The body was found lying on its back in an advanced stage of decomposition. She was dressed in a pair of blue jeans, a red jumper and socks.

Her skull had been exposed, with no flesh covering it, further complicating efforts to establish her identity at the scene.
