Kochi, Nov 22 (NationPress) In an alarming turn of events, a woman’s lifeless body was discovered concealed within a sack along a pathway adjacent to a residence in Kerala's Thevara on Saturday.
The authorities have taken into custody the homeowner, George, who has allegedly admitted to the heinous act.
Investigators are inclined to believe that the woman was slain within the confines of the house, with blood evidence found at the scene.
The grim discovery was made around 6:30 a.m. when local women workers stumbled upon the sack near George's property.
They also encountered George in a drunken and semi-conscious state, propped against a wall.
The deceased, found in a semi-nude and battered state, was partially covered and lying in close proximity to him.
Witnesses described George as sitting with his head buried in his hands, unresponsive to anyone around.
Locals recounted that at approximately 4 a.m., George was observed visiting nearby residences in search of sacks.
He allegedly claimed that a dog had perished in his yard and that he required a sack for its removal. Subsequently, he procured sacks from a local shop.
When questioned, he purportedly stated that it contained a deceased dog or cat.
According to police, it is believed that George collapsed while attempting to dispose of the body.
Concerned residents notified the ward councillor, who subsequently alerted law enforcement.
The discovery of the body in a bustling residential area has sent shockwaves throughout the community.
Investigators are considering the possibility that the deceased woman is originally from Ernakulam, but her identity and the motive behind the crime have yet to be established.
George, a former home nurse, resides in the house with his spouse and two children.
Neighbors mentioned that his wife was absent during the incident, and despite George’s alcohol consumption, he had never previously caused disturbances in the area.
Later, a police spokesperson indicated that the deceased was a woman who had been picked up by George from the railway station the night before and brought to his home.
A quarrel ensued, leading George to strike the woman on the head with a hammer in a fit of rage, resulting in her immediate death.
It was noted that George's wife was away from home that night.
