A 42-year-old man, who went missing last week, was found dead and buried in the house of his friend here on Saturday, police said.
Bindumon, a resident of Alappuzha district, was missing since September 26 and his motorbike was found abandoned near a stream around 10 kilometres from here, police said.
"The identity of the body, however, can be confirmed only after post-mortem," police said.
The body was found buried in the ground of a house at AC Colony in Changanassery near here, they said.
Bindumon's relatives had filed a missing complaint on September 28.
