The Tiruvallur district police are probing the death of two anti-social elements whose bodies were found inside a forest near Uthukottai.
The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Gummidipoondi, received an anonymous call on Monday night informing that two bodies were lying inside the forest adjacent to Sengarai village, near Uthukottai.
A police team with 20 men scanned the entire area, but were not able to trace the bodies since it was too dark.
They resumed their search on Tuesday morning and found the two bodies in a decomposed state.
The bodies bore the marks of stab injuries all over.
The police sent the bodies to the Government Hospital for post-mortem. The police identified them as Vicky alias Vignesh, 26, of Urappakam and Sathya, 27, of Otteri.
