During postmortem discussions they say the killer does not " ravage" their victims. Later someone who is falsely accused says he does "ravage" the women. Brief but not in-depth

There might be more but one is near the beginning when they’re showing the disgusting dirty village through short clips. It’s very sudden since it just randomly cuts to that so maybe you should just skip that whole scene or close your eyes

The main character is a socially unaware young man with a hyperfixation and can be easy perceived as autistic; said hyperfixation is also the sole reason for the whole "murderer" part.
