Even the priest of a temple located in unit II of Aarey Colony, which is very close to the field from where Brenden’s body was recovered, has been missing since last Monday evening.
Police sources said that a team has been sent to Chennai to trace the priest, as it is his native place, while another team has been sent to Goa to investigate the property dispute angle as Brenden’s grandfather stays there.
