Sheena murder: All skeleton, no flesh when body first spotted

August 30, 2015 14:44

The village official in Raigad district, who helped Mumbai Police team locate the spot where Sheena Bora was allegedly buried, today said when he first spotted the body in 2012 it was just a skeleton with no flesh.

"It was all skeleton. There was no flesh. The local government doctor took it for post mortem, after which it was buried," Police Patil Ganesh Dhene of Hetevne village said.

Asked how he came across the skeletal remains, Dhene said: "I had gone to collect mangoes. The body was not in a suitcase. The surrounding area was burnt."

Asked if the area was burnt as a result of petrol being poured on the body, Dhene said, "I don't know if it was burnt by petrol or something else."

A team of police, forensic experts and villagers had on Friday exhumed skeletal remains after Dhene identified the exact spot where Sheena's body was allegedly dumped in the forest three years back.
