A decomposed body, suspected to be of a student reported missing from Malayattoor, was found in an isolated field near Manappattu Chira in Kalady on Tuesday. The body, found with a deep wound on the head, is suspected to be of an 18-year-old native of Mundangamattom, who had been missing since Saturday, said an officer with the Kalady police.
The identity, however, can be confirmed only after a DNA test, the officer said.
A post-mortem examination will be conducted on Wednesday. The police registered a missing case on Sunday after it was reported that the girl had not returned after leaving home on Saturday.
