The police have finally confirmed that the badly decomposed body of a young woman found eight days ago belonged to Russian Polina Rahman.

Ms Rahman, 17, arrived in Malta on July 15 to learn English for two weeks. Her body was found in a valley adjacent to Villa Rosa, bordering Pembroke, last Tuesday, a week after she went missing.

An autopsy revealed she died from a fractured skull sustained in a fall.
