One of the neighbors in the building said she did not know the woman, but had also never heard anything out of the ordinary from that apartment. "It was quiet today, I heard that her family members were looking for her, and then they broke into the apartment, and it seems that they found her lifeless."

"I am shocked, how did we not hear this, it's weird," she added.
The apartment in which the victim was murdered is located on a street populated mostly by industrial buildings and construction sites.
It was also discovered that the victim filed a domestic violence complaint with the police against her ex-partner – the file was transferred to the prosecutor's office, but not indictment had yet been submitted.
