The Police detectives are combing the sections of Sherwood Forest in the eastern Portland after the body of a woman with a slashed throat was discovered in a burning car.

Police sources have said that the body of businessman Everton’ Beachy Stout’ McDonald’s wife, Tonia McDonald, was discovered on Monday shortly after 9 p.m.

The sources informed that her throat was slashed and her body was partially burned.

The incident happened around 10 kilometres away from Dolphin Bay, where the woman resided.

According to the police, there was an alarm raised in the area after a burning vehicle was seen in a secluded area in the Sherwood Forest.

Firefighters were informed, and they rushed to the scene and put out the fire amid rain.

Later, the body was found inside the vehicle, and it was partially burned.

The police have a theory that the woman was abducted, murdered, and then the car was set on fire.

In May 2009, McDonald’s first wife, Merlene, was gunned down outside her gate at Boundbrook near the entrance to Spring Bank Road.
