Kozhikode/Palakkad: Police have traced the car owned by Tirur businessman Siddique, whose body was recovered from Attappady on Friday. The Honda City car was found abandoned in Cheruthuruthy, Thrissur. Reportedly, the accused used this car for shifting the body after the gruesome murder.
According to reports, the accused dumped the body in a gorge beneath a hairpin curve on Attappady Ghat road and abandoned the car. Following this, they reportedly boarded a train from Shoranur and fled to Chennai.
Meanwhile, the police have taken three people namely Shibili, Farhana, and Ashik into custody in connection with the murder. In addition, reports are hinting that Farhana’s brother has also been taken into custody.
