However, George is reported to have visited her hostel at around 10 p.m. the night before her death and also happens to be the first person to report the death of the deceased to her landlord.
Some eyewitnesses also claimed George now a suspect had bruises at the back of his hands, heightening suspicions that he might have strangled Rita to death.
