PANAJI: Goa continued to reel under a spate of mysterious deaths with more bodies being recovered on Wednesday. The total number of bodies recovered since Sunday now stands at 10.

The bodies of a woman, her two children—a four-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy—and her companion were fished out of the Ourem creek in Panaji on Wednesday.

A panel of doctors, meanwhile, conducted post-mortems on the bodies of three women found under mysterious circumstances in the last two days.

While the post-mortem on the 16-year-old girl from Taliegao whose body was found in Verna revealed that she died of strangulation, the woman who was found at Merces on Monday had been smothered to death.

The postmortem report revealed that even the third woman found at Khorjuvem in Mapusa has been smothered to death. Police have registered both the cases as murder.
