CHINA On a remote trail, the body of a young woman was found. Experienced investigators immediately suspected she had been the victim of a sexual assault. A scarf was wrapped around her neck, which the attacker had used as a ligature. She was wearing only underwear on her lower body.
Their suspicions were later confirmed by a forensic autopsy. Biological material, likely belonging to the attacker, was found under her fingernails, suggesting she tried to defend herself. The vagina also showed signs consistent with forced penetration.
