Goa police arrests four people including a woman who was allegedly killed her husband and then disposed the body in a forest area after chopping it into pieces.
Kalpana Bassu, killed her husband Basauraj Bassu, a casual labourer, about a month back and then disposed of the body after cutting it into three pieces with the help of three of his friends, police inspector Ravindra Desai said.
The incident came to light after the wife of one of the accused men (name not specified by the police) suspected something amiss in her husband’s behaviour and informed the police about it.
Based on suspicion, the police questioned the man who then spilled the beans about the crime.
Subsequently, the deceased’s wife and the three men – Suresh Kumar, Abdul Karim Shaikh and Pankaj Pawar – were arrested yesterday after all of them confessed to their involvement in the crime, Desai said.
The accused woman, a housewife, and her husband lived in a house at Curchorem village in South Goa district, about 80 kms from here, along with their two minor children.
About a month back, the woman had a petty quarrel with her husband, Inspector Ravindra Desai said.
In a confession woman told the police that after the fight, she strangulated her husband to death at their residence, Desai said, adding that she did not disclose the exact date of the crime. Police arrested all the four accused yesterday and booked them under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.
