SHILLONG: East Khasi Hills police is still awaiting the forensic report of the mobile phone of the Umlyngka rape and murder victim which was recovered from a pond near Umtong following the recovery of her body from Damsite.
East Khasi Hills SP M Kharkrang said though the Hyderabad-based Central Forensic Science Laboratory receives thousands of cases from different parts of the country, the State police has requested the laboratory to accord priority to the case.
Police had dispatched the mobile phone of the victim and that of her friend Juliesa Mawlong to the FSL in Hyderabad.
According to Kharkrang, the FSL report would shed light on several things even as he added that police have made a lot of progress in the case.
Though speculations are rife about the case, new revelations are likely to be made only after the FSL report is made available to Shillong police.
