2. Igaci, Alagoas, Brazil. The heavily decomposed body of a 39-year-old man, José F.B., was found near the AL-115 highway. He had been missing for around twenty days.

The initial identification was made based on the clothes he was wearing and a bag containing medication found near the body. The ID was confirmed by the fact that one of José's hands was found as a closed fist, preserving part of the finger tissues that allowed ID by fingerprints.

4. Tumeremo, Bolívar, Venezuela. Four people were killed in a house fire, which was caused when an electric generator failed.

7. Cimahi, Indonesia. A 43-year-old woman, T.S., was found dead in a boarding house, with a cleaver having been used on her neck. A 43-year-old man, R.S., was arrested.

T. had invited R. to a boarding house for sex, and they agreed on a fee of 250,000 rupiahs ($13). However, "something happened that made the victim feel uncomfortable and disappointed with the suspect".

The two argued, and T. kicked R. out. R., furious, hit T., who tried to save herself by running to the bathroom. R. then grabbed a cleaver, which was sitting on top of the bedroom cupboard, and sliced T.'s neck.



8. Vĩnh Long, Vietnam. A 32-year-old woman, P.T.N.H., was stabbed and burned to death by a 24-year-old man, T.B.T., at a rented room.

T., after he was arrested, said that he and P. were in a relationship; however, P. wanted to break up. T. repeatedly called and texted, threatening to kill P.

On the evening of the 9th, T. went to the motel to look for P., but she refused to open the door. T. then bought a can of petrol, used wire to fasten the doors of the other rented rooms from outside, then went to P.'s room. After an argument, T. set the room on fire while repeatedly stabbing P. with a knife.

P. managed to run outside to scream for help, but she succumbed to a combination of acute haemorrhagic shock and smoke inhalation.

T. also sustained burns whilst committing the crime. He discarded the murder weapon in a clump of grass before taking a taxi to a hospital for treatment.
