A Gruesome Discovery with Nine Arrows on Špičák in Šumava
On Špičák in the Šumava mountains, two students find the body of a young woman. The naked victim was hanging by her feet from a tree, and the police found nine arrows in her body. The fact that her tongue had been cut out proves that this was most likely a ritual murder. Photos of the gruesome discovery soon appear in all the newspapers.
Are these serial killings the work of a religious fanatic, or is a mentally ill individual responsible for it all?
