Most capital crimes are committed in heat of the moment particularly during moments of great emotional stress or under the influence of drugs. And once the heat is shed off, assailants take every opportunity to conceal their wrongs. The modus operandi being the distortion of the identity of deceased either by mutilation or by secret disposal of the corpse. The commonly encountered methods include burying, burning, disposal into water bodies etc. The present case elaborates a bizarre method of disposal where, after a gruesome homicide, the assailants shoved the dead body into a tank of hot tar or bitumen in a nearby construction site. The dead body was found in charred and disfigured state rendering the remains impossible to find out injuries. Further challenging was the sticky bitumen that engulfed the remains.
