Gruesome murder

The incident came to light when brother of the 33-year-old victim Anupama Gulati on Saturday lodged a police complaint after he did not get satisfactorily reply from the engineer about his sister's whereabouts.

Acting on the complaint, police arrested Anupama's husband Rajesh (37), who hailed from Delhi, from his rented accommodation at Prakash Vihar area in Dehra Dun ton Sunday. During interrogation, he confessed to have murdered his wife on October 17, police said.

According to Dehra Dun SSP G S Martolia, Rajesh banged Anupama's head against a wall following a quarrel after which she fell unconscious. Later, he strangulated her in a fit of rage, cut the body into pieces and stashed them into a deep freezer.

In the meantime, Rajesh told his two twin kids -- aged four years -- that their mother had gone to Delhi. He also told Anupama's brother Sujan that his relations with her had improved. However, Sujan grew suspicious and came to Dehra Dun yesterday to inquire about his sister.

The couple had settled down in Dehra Dun 18 months ago after returning from the United States.

What could have turned a professional educated person into a murderer? 😕

He must be mentally unstable to CHOP the body of his wife into pieces, who does that?! Not an average human with a heart and brains.

Could it have been prevented?

What kind of a question is this? OFCOURSE it could have been prevented. Who does such inhuamne demonic things?

What do you feel went wrong?

Ofcourse the husband killing his wife in such a petrifying way. I wonder what kind of a human he is, he's not fit to be called one.

While condemning the attrocious and heinous act, Can we think that it is time to teview our marriage act... which is turning out to be an unbearable and unescapable bondage between a wife and husband.......rather than a useful and sweet relationship. Can we really say that we are democratic? who is concerned about freedom of everybody.... feels extremely sad about such incidents.

This makes me wonder when should a woman walk out of an abusive relationship? When to decide enough is enough so that such drastic endings can be prevented.
