“When the police got to the scene to remove the corpse, some people came around and identified him as the director we have been searching for in the last three days.

“It was his suit they used to identify him. However, his head has been cut-off and his chest ripped open while his intestine was removed.

“Investigation has started, his phone was left behind and some other things too. So, we are going to work with what we have to know if he had issues with anybody.

“And maybe it’s a ritual case, but it is an investigation that will reveal all these.”
