Imphal, November 30 2012: A woman was found dead with her neck slashed by a sharp weapon at Langol hills under Lamphel police station in Imphal West district.

According to information culled from the spot, the corpse was found inside a road side drain a few metres up the road leading from Langol (Iroishemba Zoo) to Lamdeng this morning.

The woman appeared to be between 40 and 50 years in age and her face was soaked with blood oozing out from the neck.

The unidentified woman was wearing a phanek of light blue colour and sweater of olive green colour.

Another phanek of pink colour and a shawl of maroon colour were also found near the body.

She was wearing gold plated ornaments like bangles on the right wrist, ear rings, ring on the left ring-finger and a pearl necklace.

A team of forensic experts together with personnel of Lamphel police station have investigated the spot.

In the meantime, a lady's bag was discovered from a bushy area along the same road.

The bag contained eatables and a mobile phone battery charger.

However, it cannot be confirmed whether the bag belonged to the murdered woman or not.

Police have picked up the corpse and deposited it at RIMS morgue.

Meanwhile, Women Action for Development (WAD) has strongly condemned the brutal murder.

WAD secretary Subita Mangshatabam said that crimes against women have been increasing every year despite all the efforts to check them.

Main reasons for this disturbing trend is letting the criminals go scotfree and absence of any effective mechanisms of the State to check such crimes.

Some time back a woman was murdered at Pallel.
