KOCHI: The city police, investigating the disappearance of 33-year-old Martin Joseph, the prime accused in the rape and assault of a 27-year-old woman for nearly a month at a posh apartment here, appear to be groping in the dark.
The reason: An investigation based on the call data records (CDR) of the accused’s family members and close friends has failed to provide any indication regarding his whereabouts. Though the police, who took nearly two months to realise the gravity of the incident after receiving the complaint from the woman, have not even been able to collect the background details of the accused yet.
Report says survivor was subjected to torture including physical assault by live-in partner; photos produced with complaint show scars and burn marks on her body
