I prefer to think it's missing parenthetical commas. "feared abducted by her ex-boyfriend, a school toilet block, has been found"

it's missing at a.

Even when i read it with your corrections dukkha, it still seems like her exboyfriend is the toilet.

That was the intent of my correction. I wasn't trying to make it accurate, I was trying to clarify the important issue of girls dating toilet blocks. ;)

Stolen Painting Found By Tree, etc etc.

Pretty turgid prose even with the correction.
