The body of a young man from Edila, Ireland, was found dead last Wednesday, near a university party, the Irish Indoor Department reported today. According to investigative sources, the 18-year-old man’s body was found on Wednesday on Aege Street in Edila. No one had reported him missing. Around 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, a neighbor found the young man’s body while walking. Police confirmed it was a murder, as the body revealed several stab wounds and signs of torture. Ambulances and police arrived at the scene, shortly followed by the CSI team, who investigated the case. The 18-year-old had just started his studies at NUI Galway. After talking to his friends, the CSI concluded that the young man had a normal life without any prior incidents. The police found the killer because she left her fingerprints on the murdered body. The Irish National Police have arrested the serial killer who murdered three college students this past year. The judge has sentenced her to life imprisonment.
