Pathanamthitta | Ilantur’s double murder investigation to a new level. When it became clear that many internal organs were missing from the remains of the victims, the suspicion was strengthened that the human sacrifice was for the organ trade. This raises suspicions that the witchcraft charge was a deliberate plan by the defendant to hide the organ trade.
Preliminary information from the autopsy conducted at the medical university said there were no kidneys or liver in Roslin’s corpse. The brain was also cut in two. Although the final autopsy report was not received, the police collected information from the doctor.
It is clear that the right kidney was missing from Roslin’s body. Liver and lungs were also absent. Bhagwal Singh said that Shafi had a desire to eat brains. The defendants also claimed to have eaten her breasts. But the liver and kidney issue didn’t come out as a statement. With this, the defendants’ declaration of having made human sacrifices for witchcraft, reinforces the suspicion that the defendants are part of the planned moves to get them back through the investigation.
The body was hidden long after the murder. Even if the defendant attempted to sell the organs, the organs should be medically transplanted with the help of doctors. The discovery of an object similar to a post mortem table in the room of Bhagwat Singh’s house where the human sacrifice took place adds strength to the suspicion. Police sources also hinted that the body parts were cut into pieces in such a way that the structure of the human body was known.
Blood stains were found in the refrigerator inside the house and there was evidence of human flesh stored in the refrigerator. The couple said they kept 10 kg of human flesh inside the house. Now there is serious debate as to whether this evidence points to some kind of connection between the accused and the mafia body.
The phone call logs of the first defendant in the case, Muhammad Shafi, will be instrumental in the case. The investigation team will also investigate whether Ilantur’s double murder is related to the state’s corporate hospital scams.
