A resident named Dede said that when he was found wrapped in a tied blanket, his head was covered in black plastic, and the victim was wearing a white shirt.

"There was a package like a bedcover wrapped, tied with a rope. When it was pulled, it turned out to be a human leg," Dede told reporters at the location, Wednesday, December 14.

Dede said the blanket strap had come off. The appearance of the victim's body was also seen in part, from the hips to the face. Dede, who saw the scene, also believed that the victim was a woman.

"So when you look at it, when you want to be removed, you want to put your body bag down, so it's open," he said.
