Speaking to CBS Information, Mazri recalled, “I picked it up there have been a few tooth marks, however it didn’t appear to be actually broken,”
“Then we opened it up and all the private data got here out. Then we seemed on the flooring and it’s all scattered round. Chickie, undoubtedly did some severe harm,” Mazri continued.

Preserve my fingers crossed and, hopefully, all the things will work itself out.”
