Film City body: Woman was hit on head and killed

A day after a decomposed body was found in Film City, Goregaon East, police said the woman might have been hit on the head and killed.

The preliminary report, however, said the woman was aged 16 to 20 years, much younger than the initial police estimate. It also said she died 30-45 days ago.
