Tamil Nadu native Rajendran, who has been arrested for allegedly murdering a plant nursery worker in Ambalamukku, sent the Peroorkada police on a wild goose chase yet again on Tuesday in pursuit of the murder weapon.
The accused was taken to Kavalkinar from where he had been apprehended by the investigation team few days ago. The police took him to the lodge in Thangasalai road where he stayed after purportedly committing the crime.
The sleuths have been in search of the knife that was used for the murder as well as a locket that was found to be missing from the gold necklace that the accused allegedly stole from the victim Vineetha. The police had recently recovered the ornament from a gold pawn shop in Anjugramam.
