NEW DELHI: The police on Saturday morning found the body of a woman that had
been dumped in Sonia Vihar in northeast Delhi, the third such recovery in five
days, sparking speculation that a serial killer may be at play.
Police
denied any such possibility although they are still fumbling for clues in all
three cases, the other two being the body of a woman found near Nehru
Place Metro station and a burned body near LNJP Hospital.
The body
found on Saturday was badly disfigured and decomposed. Police said the woman was
probably in her late twenties or early thirties and that her throat had been
slit. Her face was badly smashed, probably with stones, to conceal her identity,
sources said. The possibility of sexual assault has not been ruled out, but the
police said they would comment only after the medical reports came
in.
Senior officers said the woman may have been murdered elsewhere and
dumped at the isolated forested area close to the police training college in Wazirabad. It was
first noticed by a passer-by around 7am. Sanjay Jain,
DCP, Northeast
district, said a murder case had been filed and that they were analysing missing persons
records.
Meanwhile, the police have not made much headway in the earlier
two cases. Investigations into the Nehru Place case involving the halfnaked body
of a woman have come to a near halt after the police found out that the deceased
had a child and that her husband - whose name was tattooed on her right hand -
was previously married to a woman who stays in Rohini Sector 26. Police sources
said they were still joining the dots and connecting the events to establish a
proper sequence of events.
In the LNJP Hospital
case, the police are yet to identify the body. Sources said that while the upper
half of the body was decomposed, the lower half was not.
A source said
that in all the three cases the bodies appeared to have been dumped from moving
vehicles at carefully chosen isolated places. Sexual assault could not be ruled
out, it said, adding that it was however difficult to connect the three cases as
of now.
