East Khasi Hills Superintendent of Police Vivek Syiem, who was present during the crime scene recreation in Sohra, told reporters that the accused have revealed that another weapon was used in the crime.
Syiem said the first dao with an orange handle was recovered on June 2, the same day the body of Raja was recovered from a deep gorge near Weisawdong Falls at the Riat Arliang parking lot in Umblai.
