Former serviceman in Hyderabad hacks wife to death, boils parts of body in cooker
Hyderabad: Nearly a week after the 35-year-old wife of a former Army man was reported missing, the husband confessed before Meerpet Police that he had hacked his wife to death, boiled parts of the body in a pressure cooker and dumped the parts in various places, including the nearby lake.
The victim Venkata Madhavi and her husband, 45-year-old Gurumurthy, a native of Prakasam district had been employed as an outsourced security guard at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) facility in Kanchan Bagh, lived in Jillelaguda in Hyderabad and had two children.
The police have said that the parents of the victim filed a missing complaint at the Meerpet Police Station on January 18. Madhavi’s husband, 45-year-old Gurumurthy, a native of Prakasam district who had been employed as an outsourced security guard at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) facility in Kanchan Bagh, accompanied his in-laws and is learned to have feigned ignorance.
The police team that probed the investigated the case, however, found Madhavi’s husband to have killed his wife under suspicion and sudden provocation, angered when Madhavi stressed on her desire to visit her native place, Nandyala. Gurumurthy dismembered the parts of her body and also attempted to destroy the evidence of his crime by cooking the parts in a pressure cooker. Gurumurthy reportedly confessed to have also packed parts of the body in a bag that he threw in the Chandan Lake area near Jillelaguda.
Further investigation is on as Madhavi’s body is yet to be found.
