Forensic Examination Yields No Answers in Case of Decapitated Body in Halkidiki

The forensic examination of the decapitated body found in a wooded area in Halkidiki has yielded no conclusions regarding the victim's identity or cause of death, due to advanced decomposition. Authorities believe the victim may be a woman and that death occurred at least four months ago. Biological samples have been taken for histological and toxicological tests. The body was found wrapped in bags, along with a suitcase and a ring, but these items did not aid in identification. The Polygyros Security Department has taken over the investigation.
