THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala police has arrested two persons in the rape and murder of a Latvian woman who went missing on 14th March from Kovalam. Her decomposed body was recovered near mangroves in Kovalam, a month later.
Police arrested Unmesh and Udayan after they allegedly confessed to the crime. DGP Loknath Behra made it clear that from now onwards the victim's name and pictures will not be used, as she was subjected to sexual assault.

The arrest of the accused was delayed because the results of chemical analysis test conducted on the victim's internal organs and forensic examination were yet to be recived by the police.

A fibre boat, owned by one of the accused, was also among the articles seized by the police.
