“She had a deep cut on her neck, and on her left chest, her phone was missing. The police didn’t bother looking for it.
“From their findings about the guy, there is nothing that indicts the guy. They didn’t talk about the phone, knife, or anything.

Then the DPO said they should detain him till the girl’s parents come to the station because it is the parent that has the right to report their daughter missing.
