Nearly five months after a decomposed body was discovered chained to a rubber tree in an abandoned plantation in Mukkadavu, Punalur, DNA analysis has revealed a significant development in the case, identifying the victim as Anikuttan, 41, who was initially considered a suspect. The body, found on September 23rd with hands and legs bound by chains and parts of the face and body burnt, was too decomposed for immediate identification. Preliminary investigations had linked Anikuttan, a tile worker from Alappuzha, to the incident, leading to a lookout notice being issued. However, DNA testing using samples from his relatives confirmed he was the deceased, not the perpetrator. Police are continuing their investigation to identify the actual accused and are considering possibilities like suicide, with the cause of death still under forensic examination due to the presence of stab wounds and burn marks.
