Both the victims of the alleged ‘human sacrifices’ met their gory end in a day or two or even on the same day they had gone missing, police said.
The first victim Rosli had gone missing on June 6 and the second victim Padmam on September 26. Missing cases were registered by Kalady police in Ernakulam Rural and Kadavanthra police in Kochi city on August 17 and September 27, respectively.
“We have taken the days they had gone missing as the benchmark. They had travelled (to where they were murdered) on the same day and were murdered on the same night or in a day or two since there was no evidence of the victims having stayed there for long. They were murdered in such a cruel way that it is best left unexplained lest it shocks the conscience,” said C. H. Nagaraju, District Police Chief (Kochi City).
