A barrel sealed with putty, surrounded by several garbage bags was discovered abandoned on the banks of the Sarre-Rouge River in the Saint-Quirin Valley. Inside the barrel was the body of a female, bent in half. Her throat had been cut, wounds were found on her legs and buttocks, and her pelvis had been broken.
The barrel was manufactured in England and sold in Castorama stores in France.
The original forensic pathologist estimated the victim's age to be around 25 years old. The victim's body was examined a second time, and her age is now estimated to be between 35 and 47 years.
