‘What matters most is that you make the call. Loeike’s family is traumatized and we need public support to do them justice. ‘
Tania Marszalek, 39, who lives on the road where the body was found, told the Sun: ‘My dogs woke me up around 6 a.m.
“ It bothered me that I was woken up before my alarm and I looked outside to see what was going on; I saw a police officer tying a cord of red tape to the rear view mirror of my car.
‘I immediately wanted to know what was going on and asked the officers who didn’t tell me much at all.
“There are people on the street who say that a guy was found at the end of the street on fire after being mutilated, he was still alive when they found him.”
