NEW DELHI: In a gruesome discovery, the dismembered body of a 29-year-old woman was found stuffed inside a refrigerator in Bengaluru. The body was chopped up into over 30 pieces, according to the police.
Authorities have identified the victim as Mahalakshmi, though details surrounding the incident remain unclear. The shocking incident is believed to have taken place approximately a week ago.
Additional Commissioner of Police (West Zone) N Satheesh Kumar said, “A woman’s body was found chopped into pieces and stored in a fridge at a house within the Vyalikaval police station limits.It appeared to have been done 4-5 days ago.”
Senior police officers have cordoned off the area surrounding the building where the body was discovered.
The victim, who was originally from another state but had settled in Karnataka, was living alone in the house at the time of the incident.
The dog squad and forensic experts have been called in to assist with the investigation.
It has been reported that the woman was living separately from her husband, who worked in a hermitage away from the city. Upon learning about the incident, he arrived at the scene.
The brutal nature of the crime has drawn comparisons to the murder of Shraddha Walker by her live-in partner Aftab Poonawalla in Delhi last year in which the suspect killed her and cut the body in 35 pieces and stored in refrigerator.
