Summary:
The body's condition and the place it was found in made Liga's kin suspect murder, though police say it is too early to arrive at that conclusion. The body was found on a vacant plot with dense undergrowth opposite Govt High School, Vazhamuttom, near Kovalam. Liga had been suffering from severe depression owing to a personal trauma which her family did not wish to disclose, her sister Ilze had said. On March 14, she hired an autorickshaw from Pothencode to go to Kovalam and went missing. Subsequently, the post-mortem examination was conducted at Medical College Hospital with the entire proceedings recorded on camera..
