The fire alarms were blaring as they made their way towards the source of that smoke, and soon enough they were led to a bathroom. But they had absolutely no idea the nightmare they were about to uncover. As it turns out, this was far more than a domestic dispute. As the officers opened up that door, they saw a body in the bathtub.

The victim had been dismembered, their organs had been removed, and they had been set on fire. But almost immediately, the officers noted how small the victim was. As it turns out, The body in the bathtub was that of 10-year-old Victoria Martins. She had been killed on her 10th birthday. But the story of how she got into that bathtub was even more devastating than the scene in front of them.
