Police recovered the decapitated and decomposing body of a youth in Chittagong city's Panchlaish area on Monday night, nine days after he had gone missing.

Alauddin, 30, from Fatickchhari and an employee of a community centre, did not return home after he had left for his workplace on June 24, said police.

The body was found in a bush near a hill in Panchlaish, said Inspector (investigation) Wali Uddin Akbar of Panchlaish Police Station.
