Even in cases where "Dead Body" or "Cause of Death" is not found, an accused can be CONVICTED for MURDER u/s 302 ->

There have been many reported criminal cases where after murdering a victim, the criminal destroys the dead body of victim.

Dead Body is never found. The cause of death is never found. 

And yet the Accused have been convicted on charge of murder under Sec.302 of IPC. 

The prosecution has to however prove a "Homicidal Death" and has to prove a chain of circumstances. 

These convictions are called cases of "Circumstantial Evidence".
