A nearby resident told Swiss newspaper Blick that they saw the woman lying by the side of a lake. “It couldn’t be a swimming accident because the place isn’t easy to reach. It’s a narrow place that you can only get to via a narrow staircase.”

“There are a lot of young people out and about in this park in the evenings. It’s crazy what happened here. I was very shocked when I found out this morning,” Joel Eichenberger, 26, told Blick.&nbsp;

The victim’s identity is subject to an ongoing investigation, said the police. The identity of the suspected perpetrator was also not immediately known.&nbsp;

The Swiss police said that they are investigating the background of the attack and whether the perpetrator and the victim knew each other.
