A Czech national was found murdered in a guest house in the coastal village of Baga (20 km from Panaji) Wednesday even as her partner was found unconscious 20 km away, police said.
The 24-year-old deceased has been identified as Narkela Hoark, a tourist staying with her partner Pavel Nuahasi.
"A case of murder against unidentified persons has been registered. Pavel has claimed he was kidnapped and dumped in Thivim (around 25 km from the capital) by two unidentified persons Tuesday night. When we went to the guest house to verify the claims, we found the girl's body there," inspector Nilesh Rane told IANS Wednesday.
The official said there were injury marks on the deceased woman's neck. The body has been sent for post-mortem.
