"We discovered slash wounds on the chest, neck and head of the victim.

"The body was discovered partially clothed on Wednesday (May 15) after the landlord noticed blood flowing from inside the apartment," he told a press conference on Thursday (May 16).

Two suspects - a 35-year-old Nigerian man and a 38-year-old Pakistani man - have been detained in connection with the case, he added.
