Looking at this incident and the photo provided, there is consideration that the methyl alcohol bottles found near the person might have a level of flammability, combustion of the bottles did not seem to happen  What might be deep burns on the legs could have been the result of a number of causes in a series of events, for instance not to abandon a scenario such as an attack, torture, then moving the body.  Body was found in a wooded area with foliage around that could be flammable, which, like the bottles, did not appear to have caught fire; leaving the possibility the burns took place in a separate location or incident isolated enough the surrounding did not also catch fire.  If it was self-inflicted, which did the victim do first, choke himself with the belt, or burn his legs?, either order could make it difficult to perform the other action, and keep a controlled amount of burning.  Investigation results awaited.  Questions that beset the incident, is, is there some kind of signature in the manner of death.
