“I wore chain necklaces and chain bracelets like this. They said that necklaces were new recently…”
Circumstances that attempted to cover up the scene were also confirmed.
Police confirmed that the cell phone of the deceased teenage daughter had disappeared from the house, and while continuing the search, they found an abandoned cell phone outside the building.
In addition, during the autopsy, a drug containing a substance that induces sleep was released from a mother and daughter who died, and it was also detected in a surviving teenage son.
The police, which formed a dedicated team of about 30 people, presumed that the murder was caused by a thief, and are narrowing the investigation network by conducting a second autopsy and fingerprint identification on her daughter’s cell phone.
