Early morning walkers at the Marina beach came upon two dogs fighting fiercely near the swimming pool and trying to dig up a hole. Since it went on for several minutes they went to inspect and found a half buried body of a woman wearing no clothes and blood trickling down her nose with signs of being beaten up severely. The cops were called in immediately and police dogs were pressed into action.

Police have deduced that the woman was brought behind the swimming pool by the murderer where the two had enjoyed liqor and also indulged in sex. There may have been an argument after that when the murderer beat her to death and hurriedly buried her there and left.

The very old basic model cellphone found near the body was helpful in making calls and it has now been ascertained that the deceased is Lakshmi from Madurai who had come to Chennai seeking a job two months back. Relatives have been informed but the hunt for the killer is still on.
