Almost completely hidden from sight, in a somewhat obscured crevice along the banks of the Magot, the team uncovered the gruesome and chilling find, wrapped in what appeared to be a blue jacket.
Working together, they managed to lift the body from the crevice and confirm that it was that of a female, believed to be between 30 and 40 years old.
Due to the advanced level of decomposition, further forensic investigations will likely be carried out to identify the deceased.
