Mangalore, Apr 16: The decaying body of a dead man was found packed in a box and placed by the roadside near the Nehru Maidan in the city on Thursday April 16.
 
The identify of the murdered person could not be established, as his body was found to have been decayed a lot. Some people, who come to play in Nehru Maidan in the early hours everyday, grew suspicious because of the foul smell emanating from the said box. From the preliminary information gathered, the body appears to be that of a roadside helmet seller. 

The body was found packed in a box, on the footpath located adjacent to DAR Police ground, where a person used to sell helmets. It was packed in a carton box and helmets were found stuffed inside the box too. As helmets had been arranged over the box neatly, the passersby did not notice the murder till the box started to give out unbearable stench.
 
The policemen said, the fact that the body was stuffed in a box makes it out to be a clear case of murder. The miscreants who were involved with this murder, had planned to hide the body in the box, duly covered by helmets, they noted.
 
It is suspected that the murder would have happened at least two days ago, as the body was   found to have been decayed thoroughly and was spreading a bad odour.
 
Pandeshwar policemen in the city have initiated the identification process of the murdered person and started investigation of the case. The body was taken to the mortuary in Wenlock Hospital here.
