Decapitated Body of Unidentified Woman Found in Odisha's Kendrapara District
The decapitated body of an unidentified woman, estimated to be 40-45 years old, was found at a deserted riverbank near the Maharkula embankment along the Luna river in Odisha's Kendrapara district. The victim was wearing bangles but was otherwise unclothed, with a pair of footwear recovered nearby. Police, led by Inspector Jagannath Panigrahi, have deployed forensic and scientific teams to investigate, though the absence of CCTV footage and the remote location pose challenges. The case is being treated as a suspected murder.
