In a chain of incidents which has shocked the Delhi Police, three mutilated bodies have been found in the city in the past nine days. The three bodies were found within a vicinity of 10 km in three separate incidents of murder.
Police officials have launched an investigation to find out whether these incidents are mere coincidences or a handiwork of a single killer because in all three cases, the victims were first killed, cut down to pieces and then dumped at different places.
“These mutilated bodies appear to be separate murder cases. We are working round-the-clock to find the culprits and are confident of nabbing them soon,” joint commissioner of police Dependra Pathak told Hindustan Times.
