Youth’s corpse found within a car parked for repair!

Uppinangady: A putrefied corpse of an unidentified person was found within an Indica car parked beside the road at Nekkilady on Feb 12 2017. On prima facie it appears to be a well planned murder and hence the police attempting to investigate it from all directions.

The dead body was found within the car which was parked near a garage belonging to one Sadananda along the NH 75 in 34 Nekkilady. The corpse was assumed to be that of a youth based on the cloths tit was wearing. Though there was a stench of petrifaction around, people thought it might be that of a dead dog and hence ignored it. But, when the car showed signs of blood seeping out of it, the locals decided to investigate and found out a putrefied dead body on a man lying on the driver seat. When the police arrived and started investigating jeans pants, long sleeves clothes with designs and black shoes were found on the corpse. However the dead body was putrefied beyond recognition.

Later primary examination was done on location by forensic experts under the leadership of Dr Mahabaleshwara Shetty and Dr Suraj Shetty of K S Hegde school, Derlakatte, Mangaluru. For further investigation the corpse was transferred to K S Hegde school.

The location was visited by Puttur DySP Bhaskar Rai, Puttur rural circle inspector Anil S Kulkarni, Uppinangady SI Ratan abd probationary SI Manjunath and staff who conducted investigation. Post the incident, a case was registered with Uppinangady police station based on garage owner Sadananda’s complaint and the investigation is in progress.

Only a ticket was found!

A government bus ticket from Ullal to Uppinangady via Panemangaluru was found in the pocket of the dead man. This corpse was found within a car which had been parked since a long time near the garage for repairs. The locals have observed an Indian Cobra frequently resting within the car. Hence, did the man arrive drunk and slept within the car to die? Or did he commit suicide? Or did the snake bite or was he murdered and then disposed off within the car are question by the locals which remain to be answered.

Captured in CC camera?

There was a CC camera installed on behalf on the police in the vicinity of the incident location. Did the person arrive alone? Or did someone kill him and then dispose off his body? Was it by a person or a gang? are the suspicions on which the investigation is being carried, inform the police. Attempt has not yet been made to identify the person through the CC camera footage. Thus the case still remains a mystery.

We have attempted

“The police have tried to identify the unidentified corpse since one year but have not got any leads. But, already the information has been given to all the police stations in the district as well as those in other districts. In the coming days we will attempt to identify the corpse,” said Nandakumar, PSI, Uppinangady.
