NEW DELHI, JANUARY 19: Japanese tourist Suzuki Takuma was strangled during day, his body cut into pieces, put in gunny bags and thrown in a drain. The body was discovered on December 27, hardly seven hours after he left Indira Gandhi International airport.

Suzuki appeared to have hired a private taxi at 2.45 p.m., moments after his flight – Royal Nepal RA 305 – landed. His flight was late by five hours and the police say he did not take a pre-paid taxi.

The IGIA is just eight km away from the R.K. Puram Sector XII where his body was found in a drain. The post mortem report says that he was strangled to death.

The police are yet to find any witness, who had seen Suzuki taking the private car. The officials are already in the process of checking the private cars which were at IGIA on December 27. The police now suspect that at the arrival lounge, the 20-year-old was talked into accompanying at least two men. The police say, they must have posed agents of a hotel or promised to arrange accommodation for him.

Suzuki’s body was found in two gunny bags. At 9.40 p.m., the local watchman dialed 100 to report the suspicious-looking bags in the vicinity of N-Block. According to the police, their investigations at the moment are aimed at tracing the vehicle.
