Lāsma Kursīte, a spokeswoman for the Latgale Region Office of the State Police, explained to LETA that on February 9 this year, fragments of human bones were found in a forest massif in Klaipėda district, Lithuania, near the village of Šaipiai.
Criminal proceedings were initiated against this fact by the Lithuanian police. In order to identify the person, all the necessary examinations were ordered, according to which it was found out that the remains of Elizabete Rukmane, who had been declared missing in 2016, had been found, Kursīte explained.
On February 29, 2016, Rukmane was declared missing. Previously, the Criminal Police Division of the Daugavpils District of the State Police initiated criminal proceedings after the Criminal Law Division for criminal offenses against a person’s health. Currently, the criminal proceedings are being investigated by officials of the Criminal Police Bureau of the Latgale Region Office of the State Police.
When investigating criminal proceedings, the possibility that a person has become a victim of a crime is considered as one of the versions. The State Police, in cooperation with the Lithuanian Police, explains the circumstances of the incident, Kursīte pointed out.
It has already been reported that Latvian citizen Rukmane, born in 1987, left her home in Ilūkste in February 2016, went to Daugavpils and did not return home. After that, the surveillance cameras had detained her in several places in Kaunas, including the Kaunas bus station, and her traces disappeared.
Police have information that the woman may have planned to go to Karlsruhe, Germany, via Lithuania. It could be that she traveled around Lithuania, stopping passing cars.
The portal “Bezvests.lv”, to which her relatives had turned, reported Rukmane’s disappearance in 2016.
