LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities on EsthenWednesday have identified the man whose naked body was found inside a barrel in Malibu, California.
The man was identified by the coroner’s office as 32-year-old Javonnta Marshann Murphy, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.

It was not immediately known how long the body had been in the drum.
