Beltangady, Jun 13: A youth named Mahesh was found dead here on Friday June 13. The deceased, whose age is 24, is the son of Manjappa, a resident of Padubettu.

It was learnt that Mahesh died late night on Thursday June 12, but the incident came to light on Friday. It is not known why he left from home at night, though sources said he was going to catch fish.

Initially it was suspected that he was electrocuted after coming into contact with a trap that was laid for pigs. However, a sharp weapon found near the body led locals to suspect that he might have been murdered. Moreover, there were wounds on his shoulder which further strengthened the suspicion. A torch was also found at the spot.

Beltangady police arrived at the spot and investigations are on.
