Police suspect the body belonging to Rajan (52), which has been lost since March 1 this year.
The body found from wells also seems to be three to four months old based on the level of decay.
Anchuthengu Station House Officer Inspector S Chandradas said that the sample was collected from children of Rajan for matching DNA.
The sample will be forwarded to the Forensic Science Laboratory here along with the Diatom test findings, which is expected to be received on Monday.
“Because the body is in a decaying stage, it is impossible to know whether the deceased has an external injury, which might occur in attacks or accidents.
Therefore the importance of diatom tests,” said Inspector, added that if the results of the diatom test were negative, it would mean that Others may have damaged the deceased.
The body was found in compounds in 140 feet in uninhabited home compounds which were about one kilometer from Rajan’s house last Tuesday.
Homeowners live abroad and plan to get back soon.
The workers they used to clean the house and more advanced from them, found their bodies.

Rajan worked at a restaurant in Anchuthengu and the police had recovered a recording of a camera surveillance where he could see the restaurant after work.
