Cuttack: Police are investigating possible human sacrifice angle into the triple murder cases in Cuttack which took place within a span of 24 hours. Police on Tuesday have arrested the serial killer identified as Narayan Sahu from Nyagarh.

Police said that though the accused appeared mentally unstable, they found Sahu of performing puja at graveyards in Odagaon in Nayagarh district and Bellaguntha in Ganjam district. Sahu who used to sell bangles had moved to Odagaon from Bellaguntha after he suffered loss in business.

“Our teams visited both the places and extracted details of Sahu. People knowing him claimed him of performing puja at graveyards in both the places. So we suspect the murders could be part of human sacrifice,” said a police official.

However, police are yet to reach any conclusion related to human sacrifice as the accused is changing his statements frequently. ” Most of the cases related to human sacrifice takes place at places of worship. In this case, the victims were hacked on footpaths,” added the police official.     

The body of a daily wager was found near Ranihat canal on July 23 while two other people were found murdered in the city near OMP Square and Mangalabag on the next day. All the victims were homeless people sleeping on the footpaths.       

Police said that the accused will be forwarded to the court on Wednesday. “We are also planning to bring him under remand for further investigation into the case,” added the police official.
