The body of the late Sandra

 according to police report, was discovered on Monday, August 2,2021, eventhough the incident is believed to have occured earlier on.

It took the intervention of the landlord of the late police officer to detect the reek from the room hitherto occupied by the late Sandra, who then reported the incident to the police.
