Scary discovery at Kollam harbour: Bone fragments found in septic tank, skull found later

KOLLAM: Bone fragments were found in a septic tank at Sakthikulangara Harbour here, prompting a police investigation. The fragments were found by workers cleaning the septic tank, who alerted the police. During the initial inspection, the remains were suspected to be those of an animal. A subsequent search of the tank led to the discovery of a skull. A veterinary surgeon examined the bone fragments and found that they were not of animal origin.

However, scientific examination is required to establish whether the remains are human. Police suspect that the remains may have been dumped in the septic tank following a murder. Further examination will establish the nature of the remains and the circumstances surrounding their presence in the tank.
