In a meanwhile, the detectives were dispatched to the locations to conduct an investigation. However, when detectives went to the location, they observed the deceased with several stab wounds on his body.

The stab wounds on the man’s body were fresh as the blood was wet, and parts of his body and clothing that had mud were wet. He was clad in a red shirt, black short pants, long boots and white Captain America boxers.
