A Valencia farming community has been shaken by the brutal murder of 42-year-old Anthony Sankar, whose family made the horrific discovery of his body in his own garden on November 26th. The tragedy unfolded when Sankar failed to return home at his customary time of 6:00 PM after leaving earlier that day to tend to his property with a weed wacker.
According to investigative reports, Sankar was last seen alive approximately at 11:00 AM on Tuesday morning. When he did not return home by evening as was his established routine, concerned family members initiated a search operation. The grim discovery occurred around 8:00 PM when Sankar’s mother and other relatives located his body in the garden area, showing apparent gunshot wounds to both facial and torso regions.
Law enforcement authorities responded promptly to the incident, with the Specialist Evidence Recovery Unit (SERU) deploying crime scene investigators to document and process the area through comprehensive photographic evidence collection. Detective WPC Timothy has assumed leadership of the ongoing investigation, though preliminary reports have not indicated any immediate motives or suspects in the case.
The local agricultural community has expressed profound shock at the violent death of Sankar, described by neighbors as a dedicated farmer who maintained regular routines. This incident has raised concerns about rural safety and prompted discussions about security measures for isolated farming properties. The investigation continues as authorities pursue all possible leads to identify perpetrators and establish the circumstances surrounding this fatal attack.
