Somebody has monstered that person. Why would someone do that? It sounds like a lot of strength of feeling involved, it doesn’t sound like an average murder.
Then why didn’t they say they were looking for a “suspect”? They left it sounding like it was an animal and didn’t say outright that it was human….its worded really shady and vague
Keeping their options open. Can you find a different report of the event? Perhaps it would be clearer. However, which requires a bigger stretch of the imagination? A mysterious animal, not from the area, snuck in and savaged a person, without keeping the remains for a second meal, or a deranged human acted out his fantasies?
