NEW DELHI: In a chilling recall of the Shraddha Walkar murder case, a woman killed her husband with the help of her son from a previous marriage, chopped the body into 10 pieces and kept them in a fridge before dumping them across east Delhi, police said on Monday.

Anjan Das (45) was killed on May 30 this year by his wife Poonam (48) and stepson Deepak (25), residents of Kalyanpuri, who were arrested from east Delhi’s Pandav Nagar area on Monday.

According to police, the trigger for the grisly crime was the fact that Das had alleged ill intentions towards her stepdaughter and Deepak’s wife as well, and he was also sending Poonam’s earnings to his another wife and eight children in Bihar.

Poonam worked as a domestic help in the area.

In April, Poonam hatched a conspiracy to eliminate Das with the help of her son Deepak, police said, adding that the duo on May 30 served alcohol laced with sleeping pills to him.

The mother-son stabbed Das with a dagger and a knife over neck, chest and abdomen, police said, adding that after the murder, the body was kept in the room.

The blood got drained from the body by the next morning and they then started cutting it into 10 pieces and kept them in the fridge. The accused dumped his body parts over the next three to four days, police said. So far, police have found six body parts.

The torso and forearms of the deceased are yet to be recovered.
