"The autopsy report has indicated there are two sharp cuts on the head of the deceased -- one behind and one on the front," Syiem said.

Raghuvanshi and his wife Sonam went missing in Sohra in East Khasi Hills on May 23 while honeymooning in the picturesque state. His body was found in a gorge near Weisawdong Falls on June 2, while a search for his wife was under way.

A bloodstained machete, which seemed relatively new, was also found near the body, according to police.

Sonam emerged in the early hours in UP's Ghazipur and surrendered before the police as the investigators nabbed four others allegedly involved in the crime that shook the nation.
