Ziro: Three individuals, including two women, were found dead under mysterious circumstances at Hotel Blue Pine in Hapoli, near here on Tuesday.
The trio, all hailing from Kerala, have been identified as Arya B Nair (29), Devi B (39) and Naveen Thomas (39).
While Nair was found dead on the bed with her wrist cut, Devi was found dead on the floor with cut marks on her neck and wrist. Thomas’s body was found in the bathroom with a cut mark on his wrist. It was revealed that Thomas and Devi were married.
Lower Subansiri superintendent of police Keni Bagra said the hotel authorities alerted the police about the incident at around 10 am on Tuesday after the guests were not seen since April 1.
Upon investigation, the bodies were discovered in the room they were staying in, which was locked from the inside and had to be forcibly opened.
“A dedicated team of police personnel is currently investigating the case. We will provide further information once we receive the necessary medical reports,” Lower Subansiri superintendent of police Keni Bagra said.
The district police, with the assistance of forensic experts, conducted a search and seized all available evidence from the room.
“A postmortem is scheduled for Wednesday after which the bodies will be handed over to the family members who have been informed about the eventuality,” the SP said.
Three unnatural death cases under section 174 of the CrPC have been registered and are being investigated by sub-inspector J Doye.
During the initial investigation, it was found that there is a missing FIR registered against deceased Nair in Trivandrum.
While initial inquiries also suggest a possible case of suicide, authorities are awaiting the postmortem report to confirm the cause of death.
