Iceland gripped by mystery murder of woman, 20, whose snow-covered shoes were found 22 miles from her body on a snowless day
The body of Birna Brjansdottir, 20, was found a week after she was last seen staggering down a Reykjavik street at 5am
ICELAND has been gripped by a tragic murder mystery involving a beautiful young woman who vanished after a night out.
Birna Brjansdottir, 20, was found dead after a week of searching on a beach 22 miles away from where she was last seen.
The mystery has captivated the remote island country which has a population of 336,000 and the third lowest murder rate in the world.
Indeed, the case has been likened to a Nordic crime thriller as questions still remain about what happened to the fun-loving shop assistant whose snow covered Doc Martens were found despite there being no recent snowfall.
CCTV footage showed Birna staggering down a street in capital city Reykjavik at 5am after a bar crawl on January 14.
A few days after her distraught mother reported her missing, police found her boots at docks outside the city centre over 20 miles from where her body was eventually discovered.
“Foreign involvement is almost unheard-of. The reaction would be different if the suspects would’ve been two Icelandic boys.”
