The deceased have been identified as Baby Thomas (65), and his wife Mary (55).
While the woman's blood-soaked body was found lying on the floor inside her house, her husband's body was found inside his car parked near the house.
Police said both were hit with sharp-edged weapons on the head and body. Both the bodies have been sent for post mortem.
Though sniffer dogs were pressed into service, the police could not get any vital clue immediately.
Police suspect it was a case of 'murder for gain'. However, they said that they would investigate the case in all the angles including the possibility of family clash. A case has been registered at jurisdictional Kadaba police station.
Hailing from Thamarassery, a picturesque town in Kozhikode district of Kerala, Thomas had been living in Kodimbala village since past one-and-a-half years.
