THE BODY of a strangled teenage girl has been discovered tied to a tree in a deserted woods.<\/p>\n

Two days after the teen went missing, and on the day her body was found, a 15-year-old boy admitting to the sex-based killing.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

14-year-old Ana Kemilli\u2019s remains were stumbled upon by passersby in Campo Belo do Sul, Brazil on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Young Ana was last seen alive two days before the chilling discovery, on Monday, 8th February.<\/p>\n

She had been making her way home in the afternoon after going out with friends.<\/p>\n

Ana\u2019s family contacted the police when she failed to return home, and the fire brigade began searching for her the following morning with the help of sniffer dogs.<\/p>\n

The search team found a sandal belonging to Ana in a wooded area, and tragically, shortly after her dead body was discovered by locals.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Authorities revealed the teenage girl\u2019s body was found in a seated position, with her hands tied up.<\/p>\n

According to the police, Ana\u2019s body displayed no visible signs of violence or sexual assault.<\/p>\n

However it\u2019s chilling and unexplained abandonment in the woods left them with many questions.<\/p>\n

An autopsy later revealed that the teenage girl was strangled to death.<\/p>\n

A 15-year-old boy has now handed himself in to the police, reportedly confessing his involvement in the crime.<\/p>\n

The boy lives close to the victim and also went missing the day after Ana\u2019s disappearance – with his family reporting him as missing the day her body was found.<\/p>\n

Police officer Tiago Gomes told local media the 15-year-old boy has not yet revealed his motive.<\/p>\n

He added the boy had \u2018taken advantage\u2019 of his right to silence. \u00a0<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Officer Gomes went on: \u201cThere is the possibility that others are involved, but it will have to be investigated if there were or not."<\/p>\n

The boy has since been placed in preventive detention, and his identity has not been disclosed.<\/p>\n

Local residents are said to be shocked by the crime, with Ana\u2019s heartbroken family speaking of their devastation.<\/p>\n

Ana's godmother Clarice Siqueira said: "She will always be remembered. It's very sad. She was taken from us very early."<\/p>\n

Ana was buried in Campo Belo do Sul on 12th February.<\/p>\n

The police are currently investigating the case as a femicide – a sex-based hate crime resulting in the intentional murder of women and girls.<\/p>\n
