German police searching for a missing Chinese student say they have found the body of a woman with severe head injuries.
The body was discovered today in the eastern town of Dessau-Rosslau, where the woman from China had been studying. Friends reported the unnamed 25-year-old missing on Thursday, a day after she had last been seen going out for a jog.
Chief Prosecutor Folker Bittmann said a homicide investigation has been launched, but that the victim's identity hadn't been established yet because of the severity of her injuries.
