Skeletons of Five People Found in House

Locals and relatives claimed the family used to live a completely secluded life as they were facing critical health issues. The family was last seen in June-July 2019. Their house was always locked. Around 2 months ago, the main wooden door was seen broken during the morning walk, but police weren't informed.

According to the police, the scene of the crime suggests that the house has been intruded on multiple times and ransacked. Four skeletons (2 on beds and 2 on the floor) have been found in the sleeping position inside a room, while another one is found in another room, as per police. A Forensic Science Laboratory team from Devengere and a scene of crime officer (SOCOs) were called to the spot to collect evidence. Karnataka Shocker: Minor Girl Trapped and Raped For Over One Year in Kolar; Five Arrested.
