Last May, the remains of an unknown woman were discovered near the Belarus border. She was buried in the remote Zaščirinas cemetery with number 10. The State Border Guard confirmed the coordinates where the body was found.

Anna Griķe, a representative of the NGO "I Want to Help Refugees," began searching for information about the deceased. She came across a Cameroonian Facebook group where members discussed ways to reach Europe. This led to the identification of the woman as 24-year-old Reičela from Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon. She had a cross-shaped tattoo on her leg and was known for her adventurous spirit and determination.
