Adna was with her partner, known as L.R., when they were surrounded and attacked by 3 men armed with knives. L.R. was badly hurt during the assault but managed to survive. The attackers fled the place by motorcycle leaving L.R. fallen on the ground and taking Adna with them. She was found dead the next day by a farmer on his way to work.
