A Guwahati woman allegedly killed her husband and mother-in-law, and stored their body parts in a freezer for a few days before throwing them in a river, police sources said.
The incident bore resemblance to the Shraddha Walkar case, in which Walkar was murdered by her live in partner Aaftab Poonawala.
The incident occurred in the city's Noonmati area seven months ago but came to light only on Monday after the accused reportedly confessed to the crime.
Accused confessed to crime
According to a senior police officer, the accused Bandana Kalita confessed to having killed her husband Amarjyoti Dey and mother-in-law Shankari Dey with the help of two of her friends on August 17, 2022.
The woman, identified as Bandana Kalita, claimed she murdered her husband, Amarjyoti Dey, and mother-in-law, Shankari Dey. She later dismembered their bodies and put them in a refrigerator.
She then left the rental house but returned on August 21, 2022, to clean it. She removed the body parts from the fridge and disposed of them at Dawki, Meghalaya.
"Following the murders, Kalita stored the victims' body parts in a refrigerator and left the house. She returned four days later, on August 21, and disposed of the body pieces into Meghalaya's Dawki River, which is at a distance of at least 200 km from Guwahati," the officer added.
