The recovery of the axe was made after the CBI team visited the scene of gruesome killings, the co-accused Moninder Singh Pandher's D-5 bungalow in Sector 31, Noida, with Surender in tow. The CBI team, which took over the investigation into the case from Uttar Pradesh police, earlier recovered more skulls and body parts from the drains near Pandher's house, besides the skulls and bones of at least 17 people, mostly children, recovered by the UP police in the last week of December. The duo was arrested by the police late last month after the macabre discovery.
They are in the CBI custody at present.
