The bodies of two missing youngsters were found buried in a paddy field at Karingarapully near here on Wednesday. The police exhumed the bodies and confirmed they were that of Shijit Karokkottupura, 22, and Sateesh Kalandithara, 24, who had been missing since Sunday.
A postmortem of the bodies confirmed that they had been electrocuted from a power fence illegally set up to trap wild boars. The police said that the land owner, Anandan Ambalaparamba, 52, had confessed that he buried the youngsters when he found them lying dead on Monday morning.
Mr. Anandan had erected the power fence in his farm by taking electricity from his house. The police arrested Mr. Anandan, and brought him to the scene of crime for verification.
