Body parts of woman, girl found in three sacks in river at Attappadi
PALAKKAD: Body parts believed to be those of a woman and a girl were found stuffed in three sacks in Bhavani river at Attappadi in Palakkad district on Sunday afternoon, prompting the Pudur police to register a murder case and launch an investigation.
The sacks, found floating in the river near Cheerakkadavu about 9km away from Agali, were spotted by people who had gone to graze cattle around 2.30 pm. A strong stench from the sacks raised a suspicion, following which they alerted the police.
“Police personnel who reached the spot — near the Thavalam-Mulli stretch— found the body parts of the girl in the first sack. The second sack contained the severed head portions of two deceased, while a third sack containing body parts believed to be those of the woman was found about 1km downstream,” said a senior officer with the Pudur station.
