Sathyan's friend, who came to his place after work, was the first one to find the dead body. In a similar incident in last month, John Philip, a Kottayam native, was abducted and murdered after he resisted a robbery attempt in Muscat. The police had arrested six Omani nationals in connection with the murder.
