By U Sudhakar Reddy Hyderabad, March 9: A foot print with a deformed toe has become a vital clue for police in the hunt for the killer of B.Pharm student Ayesha Meera.
The young woman was raped and murdered in a hostel in Vijayawada in December 2007.
Sleuths who studied the photographs of the crime scene have found out that one footprint showed a deformity in the third toe.
Police sources said that there were doubts that it belonged to one of the suspects, Laddu alias Gurvinder Singh, but the investi gating officials are not ready to jump into conclusions.
The crime scene was photographed from different angles after the murder.
AP Forensic Science Laboratory experts and Crime Investigation Department sleuths came upon the deformed toe while observing the minute details of the photographs.
Initially, cops didn't pay much attention to it. But now they are feeling the heat and don't want to leave any clue unturned.
"There was a pencil lying just beside the footprint," said a CID official. "It was magnified in various angles. There was huge gap between the toes."
However, other experts warned that the examination of the footprint was not scientific.
"We can't be 100 per cent sure that it hints at a deformity," said another CID official. "There are no ridge marks such as loops and whirls."
The APFSL physics division team headed by Mr Narayana Rao will be taking the footprint of Laddu when he is brought to Hyderabad for a lie detection test
