Two decomposed bodies were found in a canal in Tiruttani on Sunday. The police are investigating if the victims were electrocuted as an electric fence was installed in the nearby farm.
According to the police, Raja, 48, and Arumugam, 20, went out for some work on July 16 and did not return home. The families informed the police and on Sunday morning some passers-by found the carcass of a pig in a canal near Arungkulam and a few feet away, the bodies of Raja and Arumugam were found.
