Police believe they have found the body of a missing 24-year-old Syrian woman from Almere.

The discovery was made yesterday by a bystander in the forest near Almere’s De Kiem car park, roughly one kilometre from where she was last seen. Police say there is strong evidence she was killed.

Her travelling companion, 34-year-old Omar Almahad, is a suspect. Officers are still searching for him, along with his car, a grey Peugeot 307 SW with the licence plate 36-LH-RN.
