A bundle of bones, packed in a gunny bag, was detected by the villagers in a jungle situated in Bankura, West Bengal. After thorough autopsy, it revealed that the bones belonged to a male person aged 25 +/- 2 years of stature 167.5 +/- 5 cm. It also revealed that the person was a chronic smoker and his cause of death was head injury, probably homicidal in nature. Subsequent investigation by police unveiled a gruesome incidence of killing a man by his wife and her paramour.
