The naxals killed the villagers last night on suspicion that they were police informers, and threw their bodies on road, Bijapur police officials told PTI by phone.

The bodies were recovered from Gangaloor, Basaguda and Bhopalpatnam areas of the Naxal-affected district, they said.

A manhunt has been launched for the extremists, police said.
