The body of the woman, who is in her early 40s, was found by some young men who went to fetch some coconut leafs for the Sunday umu.
A witness who spoke to the Samoa Observer yesterday on the condition of anonymity said the body was found not far from her home.
“The woman was naked when she was found,” she said.
“The Police were called and they came and took her away.”
The witness said the beating is believed to have happened on Sunday morning.
“There were bruises all over her body,” she said.
“There injuries on her cheeks. From what I saw, it looked like the murderer stabbed her with a knife. I think the person even used some rocks during the attack to inflict further injuries.”
The woman is not from Faleula-uta but she lived closed to the area where she was found.
“Everyone around here is shocked,” the witness said. “It was disturbing and it’s very distressful.”
It was not possible to get a comment from Police Spokesperson, Su’a Muliaga Tiumalu, yesterday.
