31-07-2009
MANGALORE, India (CNS) -- A Catholic priest was found murdered July 30 in a remote area near Mangalore in southern India. The naked body of Father James Mukalel, 39, was discovered on a roadside in the morning by passers-by, reported the Asian church new agency UCA News.
The priest worked in the Belthangady Diocese, a Syro-Malabar diocese, which has its headquarters near Mangalore in Karnataka state.
Father Thomas Kannankal, a diocesan social work director, said the deceased priest was returning to his parish after attending the funeral of a former parishioner in the Thottathady parish July 29.
Father Mukalel was a priest of the Tellicherry Archdiocese in the neighboring state of Kerala, but opted to work in Belthangady, serving in the Kutrapady parish at the time of his death.
