to 09.30 pm, P.W.14 went to see his men. He was riding a two wheeler. He saw two men (one stout & one lean) and a woman walking in front. Since it was night hour, he asked them where they were going. They replied that they were going to the river. Even as PW.14 was going past, one of them called the second accused by name and laughed at the naivete of P.W.14. After giving instructions to the workmen, P.W.14 returned from the camp at around 01.00 am. He came to Thiruengoimalai bus stop to board the bus. Out of the three persons, he had earlier seen, only two were standing there. He saw the stout individual and the lady alone but not the third person who was lean. When he enquired about the third person, he was informed that he had already left. Later, he came to know that a person was found on the river bank. On 10.02.2012, the photograph of the deceased was published in the newspaper. Since it resembled the face of the person whom he had seen the previous night, P.W.14 went to the police station and informed them as to what he saw. P.W.14 identified the first and second accused in the Court as the persons whom he saw at Thiruengoimalai bus stop. As already noted, except the testimony of P.W.14, there is no other evidence as against the second accused.
