Autopsy Reveals Brutal Injuries in Rezé Human Remains Case

Overview

• Five urban explorers reported a skull in trash bags inside an abandoned Rezé garage, a discovery made around 3 a.m. Tuesday that drew police to the site.
• Police forensic teams and investigators from the DCOS, a specialized national crime unit, secured and searched the building and initially found no other remains.
• The prosecutor said the autopsy found the remains spread across three trash bags, with one bag holding clothing believed to belong to the victim.
• The same autopsy reported that all of the victim’s ribs were broken, a finding that supports the working homicide theory as forensic dating and identification proceed.
• The building is known to be regularly squatted, which broadens the pool of possible witnesses and complicates efforts to trace who brought the bags there.
