The suspected killer who cut the body of a Bengaluru woman into more than 50 pieces and stuffed the body parts into a refrigerator has allegedly committed suicide in Odisha’s Bhadrak district.
He was found hanging from a tree in a village in Bhadrak district.
Before committing suicide the Odisha man identified as Mukti Ranjan Ray told his family about the crime and it is alleged that the woman – Mahalakshmi – and her brothers used to beat him and extort money from him, said a report by Times of Hindustan.
On Thursday, Mukti’s younger brother told reporters that his brother had confessed to the murder and had mutilated her body after an initial plan to fake her death because suicide did not work, the report said.
“My brother was with me for the last 9-10 days. After waiting for 3 days, he confessed to killing Mahalakshmi. He told me that Mahalakshmi used to blackmail him and extort money from him,” the younger brother was quoted as saying in the report.
Mukti had blamed Mahalakshmi for messing up his life, he added.
Before Mukti died, he had visited his mother on Tuesday. He said he was tense when he came home, the report said.
Mahalakshmi’s body, infested with maggots, cut into pieces and stuffed into a refrigerator, was found by her mother and elder sister on Saturday at her home in Vyalikaval.
The deceased woman’s estranged husband on Sunday expressed suspicion about the involvement of a man Mahalakshmi knew, who had been living alone, in her neighborhood.
“He kept saying the girl destroyed our family,” said Mukti’s brother.
“He wanted to marry her and was taking her on a bike to Kerala. However, she accused him of kidnapping and elevated him from the public. The public beat him badly and handed him over to the police. He was also beaten by the cops and left after he surrendered ₹1,000 bribe. The woman’s brother together with his friends had also threatened to kill my brother. So, out of rage, he grabbed her throat and strangled her. After realizing she was dead, he initially tried to hang her body to pass her death off as suicide. However, he could not hang it and so he cut it into pieces and put it in the fridge before fleeing to Odisha,” he added.
