Charred bodies of a man and a woman were found today in the bushes at an isolated spot near Bhopal's Raja Bhoj airport, police said.
Police suspect that the duo were first killed using heavy stones by unidentified persons before setting their bodies on fire, apparently to destroy their identity.
The bodies were found lying at a spot between Asharam Square and Narsinghgarh tri-section near the airport, said Additional Superintendent of Police Sanjay Sahu.
It appears that the man is around 40-year-old and the woman around 35, he said.
"We are trying to identify the deceased whose bodies are burnt badly. The exact cause of their death would be known after postmortem," he said.
A case has been registered at Gandhi Nagar police station, he said.
