Playa del Carmen, Q.R. — Police are investigating the discovery of a young woman’s body in Villas del Sol early Friday morning. The woman was found bound and partially burned after residential reports of a house fire.
Residents made the 9-1-1 report Friday after smelling smoke then noticing a home on fire. According to local reports, police were unable to find the address the first time due to a lack of caller information.
A second report made by nearby residents provided more information that lead police to the home. Inside, a young woman who had been bound by her hands and feet was found dead.
Her body was partially burned by, what is reported to be, an intentionally set fire.
Municipal police cordoned off the area while evidence was collected and the body removed. Police have not commented on the discovery or the identification of the woman.
