IMPHAL, April 10: A skeletal remains of a completely charred body, suspected to be that of a woman who has been reported to be missing since some time was found atop a small hillock known as Kakching Mahadev hill under Kakching Police station, said the police, Wednesday.
A team of the Kakching police station headed by officer-in-charge S Nandababu accompanied by experts from the state Forensic Laboratory rushed to the spot which is about one and an half km south-east of Kakching police station this afternoon.
The team found a headless skeleton of the burned body whose skull was found down the hill side about 25 ft from the spot where the skeleton was found. It is believed that the skull might have rolled down the hill side because of its roundness after the body was completely charred in what is suspected to be a wild fire.
A finger ring, a half-burnt shoe, red in colour and a piece of cloth were found nearby, the police official said.
According to experts of the Forensic Laboratory, the body might be of a female.
The body has been deposited at JNIMS for autopsy.
The burnt body found at Kakching Mahadev Hill is expected to be of a woman named Keisham Premila from Wabgai who has been found missing since the last over three weeks.
Premila, 44, had left home on March 25 last around 7:30 pm after she received several phone calls from her alleged boy-friend Kshetrimayum Khelendro of Kakching Ningthou Leikai that day. She had remained untraceable since then, sources said, adding that a missing report was also filed at Kakching police station by her family before they went to the house of of Khelendro and enquired her whereabouts.
However, it was found that there is no person by the name Khelendro at Kakching Ningthou Leikai, her family members said.
