According to the inspector, the murder victim’s identity should be established first. “Once the identity is established we may reach upto the killer. Therefore, we are searching for a clue like a driving license or voter’s I-card or a manufacturing sticker of his cloth.
“In this case also we suspect the murder must be an outcome of an extra-marital affair, but this can be detected only after the victim’s identity is established,” said the officer.
