An Intermediate student, who was kidnapped on Monday night at Kanteswar in NIzamabad district, was found murdered at MSR school playground in the district on Tuesday.
According to police, the victim has been identified as Kenneth Kitson, who was pursuing his Intermediate course in the local college. Unidentified persons had kidnapped Kitson on Monday night and demanded ransom from their parents, police stated.
The victim's father is a contractor by profession.
However, the parents refused to oblige the kidnappers, who are then believed to have murdered the student and left the body at MSR playgrounds.
Police have pressed into service a CLUES team to collect evidence of the murder.
According to information, the kidnappers had slashed Kitson's neck.
The CLUES team is believed to have recovered some empty liquor bottles and weapons thought to be belonging to the kidnappers-turned-murderers at the spot.
