Bodies of the two women believed to be between 25 and 30 years, were recovered Thursday in different positions near Samad Hotel with used condoms around the scene and unused ones in their bags.

One of them, whose pant was removed to the knee level, was found in what is popularly referred to as “doggy position” with her stomach and face lying flat on the ground.

The second woman was found lying almost supine without panties.
The other lady had her ‘stretch’ trousers stripped to the thigh region, exposing her beads. She had no panties on.
