Kerala Government today said it would provide Rs five lakh as immediate relief and extend all help to the family of Lithuanian tourist, Liga Skromene, whose highly decomposed body was recovered from near Kovalam, to be taken to her native place for the final rites.
Liga's family will be provided Rs five lakh as immediate relief, an official release said.
A highly decomposed body, with head severed,was recovered from Thiruvallam near Kovalam yesterday and police had expressed suspicion it was that of Liga, who was reported missing since March 14.
Her husband Andrews and sister Ilze had identified her by the clothes on the body and colour of her hair.
Police are however awaiting DNA test reports to conclusively prove if the body was indeed that of Liga.
Kerala Tourism director P Balakiran, who met Ilze today on the directions of tourism minister Kadakampally Surendran, said the amount would be handed over to her soon."
