The gut feeling of a senior Kochi city police officer about a woman missing complaint received at the Kadavanthra police station led to the shocking revelation of the suspected twin human sacrifices at Elanthoor in Pathanamthitta.
The Kadavanthra police had registered a case on the missing of lottery vendor Padmam from Elamkulam on September 27. Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, C.H. Nagaraju, District Police Chief (Kochi City), said the investigative acumen and experience of S. Sasidharan, Deputy Commissioner (Law and Order), Kochi City, proved crucial in cracking the case.
“As soon the case was registered, he felt that there was something fishy. He constituted a special team and convened meetings. His leadership was crucial in detecting the truth,” he said.
