The body recovered near the Colachel coast in Tamil Nadu nearly two weeks ago has been confirmed to be that of Kiran, 25, of Naruvamoodu who had gone missing at Azhimala.
The Vizhinjam police said a DNA test done at the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology had positively identified the body as that of Kiran. His father had earlier identified a band on Kiran’s wrist, but no other marker on the body could be identified as it was in a highly putrefied state.
The police said the test results had been produced in court. The body would likely be handed over to Kiran’s relatives on Thursday. The search for two more persons in the case would continue.
