Jaipur murder
Man kills aunt, dumps body pieces near Jaipur highway: Cops
Jaipur/IBNS: A 32-year-old man killed his aunt and then chopped up her body into 10 pieces before dumping them in a remote area in Rajasthan's Jaipur, media reports said.
The accused-identified as Anuj Sharma-killed his 64-year-old aunt at his Jaipur home on Dec 11 after she stopped him from going to Delhi for an event, they said.
Anuj lived in Jaipur's Vidhyadhar Nagar with his father, sister and his aunt Saroj- who had been staying with them after her husband's death.
Anuj's mother died last year during the Covid wave.
On Dec 11, Anuj and Saroj were alone at home as his father and sister had gone to Indore.
Anuj wanted to go to Delhi, but Saroj stopped him which led to an argument. In a fit of rage, he hit her on the head with a hammer while she was making tea, police said.
He then cut her body into 10 pieces with a marble cutter and dumped them in a remote area along the Jaipur-Sikar Highway.
Anuj had carried the body parts in a bucket and a suitcase, officials said.
He later filed a missing complaint and also started looking for her along with other relatives to mislead police.
During probe, police found that his statements were misleading, following which his activities were monitored. In CCTV footage, he was seen leaving his house with a suitcase and a bucket.
On being confronted, he confessed to having murdered his aunt by hitting her head with a hammer, police said.
