Lurking in the shade of a street alongside a children’s playground, she had her face camouflaged and doused her upper body with gasoline before setting it on fire.
The investigation into this horrific murder is moving fast. Promising avenues are explored. The suspects parade, numerous: Clara fell easily in love and could arouse legitimate jealousies.
