Coimbatore: In a shocking incident, the body of an elderly woman was found burnt in the Athipalayam area near Ganapathy in Coimbatore on September 26. Passersby who noticed the charred remains alerted the Saravanampatti police.
Upon receiving the information, the police rushed to the spot and recovered the body. Initial investigations suggest that the victim was a woman aged between 60 and 70 years. It is suspected that she was murdered and her body dumped near a thorny fence.
The police have stated that the perpetrators did not use common accelerants like petrol or diesel to burn the body, as it was not completely incinerated. They believe some other flammable substance was used. The body has been sent to Coimbatore Government Hospital for post-mortem examination.
Interestingly, the police noted that no missing person complaint had been filed in the area for the past week regarding an elderly woman. This has led to speculation that the victim might not be a local resident.

They are also looking into potential property disputes as a motive.
As the investigation continues, the police are working to establish the identity of the victim and apprehend those responsible for this gruesome crime.
