Kannur: In a bizarre case, a woman who went missing from Koipra in Mathamangalam here was on Sunday found dead in a house, whose owner was away on a family trip. The deceased is Anila (38). The body was found a day after Anila's husband filed a missing case with the police.
Meanwhile, police found the caretaker of the house, Shiju, hanging at his mother's home, around 22 km away. Police suspect it to be a case of murder-suicide.
The owner had entrusted Shiju to look after the house and their dog while they were on the trip. "But as Shiju was unavailable over the phone, a relative of the owner went to the house and found the woman dead and informed us," police said.
Police have found the CCTV visuals of the woman reaching the locality. They are yet to ascertain the reason behind the deaths.
