Investigators will also have to trace the victim's last hours and find out if she could have reported any difficulties or recent threats.
A Couple Known to the Police Services

The victim's companion apparently left the scene on Sunday evening, for a reason that is still unclear at this stage. He appeared on Monday around 10 p.m. in front of the door, without getting a response.
It was finally the next morning that the emergency services, after entering the apartment, made the terrible discovery. The young woman lay lifeless, curled up in the shower.
