Couple found buried in park in New Friends Colony

“There were strangulation marks on the man’s body while the woman’s legs and hands were tied. Their bodies were covered by grass,” a senior police official said.

The bodies were discovered by boys who were playing cricket in the park. “They were searching for the ball when they accidentally discovered the bodies,” the official said.

Two SIM cards were also recovered from the spot.

“Prima facie,it appears that the couple was poisoned to death. However,murder due to strangulation is also a probability as handkerchieves were found tied around the neck of both the victims,” the official said.
