After one or two hours, the cocktails ran out and Warren left to go back to Victor's Bar because she was bored.When she and the others arrived at Victor's Bar, Warren was not there and it was crowded, so the group sat in front of the bar and drank beer. But the next morning she found out Warren's body had been found at the toilet block, near where O'Shea had last seen her."I know for sure that what happened to her was someone else and she was killed and that nothing that she did contributed to that," O'Shea said.
Three autopsies were performed on her body after she died, one in Mozambique, another in South Africa and the third in Australia.READ MORE: But the Australian autopsy could not determine a cause of death.Outside court, Warren's father Paul said "there's no way" thick sand could have reached that deep into her lungs."Now I think it's to sort of throw everybody off track and to cast doubt.
