According to a local resident, the abandoned building had been open until about two years ago and served as a shelter for the homeless. However, it was sealed off after a fire. He also reported that he had seen a homeless person staying in the wider area in recent weeks, but has not seen him again in the last few days.

The Organized Crime Division has taken over the case, and the investigation is in full swing.
