A top police officer on Sunday claimed that cops have already identified the serial killer involved in the murder of three persons in Cuttack city.
"The police have collected some clues in regard to killing of three persons within 24 hours in Cuttack city. This could be the work of a psycho killer," Commissioner of Police, Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Satyajit Mohanty told reporters here.
He said a special team led by a senior police official in rank of an Additional DCP rank is investigating the matter.
"We hope, the police will nab the culprit soon," the CP said, adding that the police have already consulted a professor of forensic medicine department of SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack in this regard.
Mohanty said: "The modus operandi of the killer indicated that he should be a psychopath. He is first slitting the throat of the person and then smashing his head. His target is mostly destitute persons sleeping in open."
