The 28-year-old British woman who was found dead near a beach in south Goa on Tuesday was raped before she was murdered, a police officer said Thursday, citing the postmortem report.
The autopsy conducted by a panel of doctors of the Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) has confirmed the woman was sexually assaulted before she was throttled, according to the police. The disrobed body of the woman, who had a British passport, was found at an isolated spot near a beach in Devbag village, located about 80 kilometres from Panaji, on Tuesday.
According to police, her face was smashed by the accused apparently to conceal her identity. “The cause of death was compression of neck and the cerebral damage after she was hit on head with a beer bottle. The autopsy has confirmed that she was raped before murder,” Deputy Superintendent of Police (Canacona) Sammy Tavares told.
