Officials say they have found the body of a slain German woman buried on her remote ranch in Paraguay.

Prosecutor Oscar Talavera tells Paraguay's Channel 4 television that the body of Martina Trosle was found on Saturday at the Aguila Negra ranch. One of her workmen was buried with her. He says both bodies showed signs of violence.

Talavera says the 51-year-old woman lived alone. It was not immediately clear where in Germany she was from or when she came to Paraguay.

Talavera told the television station on Sunday that no suspects have been arrested.
