Husband admits k!king and cooking his wife, but cops let him walk free due to lack of evidence

A husband in India has admitted to k!lling and cooking his wife following a heated argument.

According to Mail Online, Gurumurthy, 45, told Rachakonda police in Hyderabad that he had slaughtered his wife Venkata Madhavi, 35, who had been reported missing since January 16.

The retired soldier told authorities he had k!lled his wife of 13 years, after slamming her against a wall which resulted in an instant death.

Gurumurthy, a father of two, then claimed to have dismembered her corpse using a kitchen knife before boiling the body parts.

After boiling, Gurumurthy told cops he had placed her limbs in a pressure cooker for five-to-six hours and used a pestle and mortar to grind down her bones. He is then said to have thrown the remaining flesh and powdered bones into Meerpet Lake.

Police seized potential evidence, including the pressure cooker, a kettle, and knives from the apartment where the butchering is believed to have taken place.

Forensic teams, as well as a dog squad, have searched around the lake for the remains but have so far emerged unsuccessful in their attempts.

‘We cannot rely on mere allegations. We are collecting all technical and scientific evidence. The case is being investigated,’ a police spokesman told The India Express newspaper.

As police continue to interrogate Gurumurthy, the Meerpet police believe he may have killed Madhavi in a fit of rage and did everything possible to avoid the crime being detected.

‘As of now, we don’t have any reasons to believe it was a premeditated crime. It seems like the result of a petty quarrel,’ Ch Praveen Kumar, Deputy Commissioner of Police told the newspaper.

‘We are questioning the suspect and we have not recovered any body parts. We do not have enough clues,’ he added.

Gurumurthy told the police Madhavi left home in a fit of rage after a quarrel between them on the morning of January 16. But during their investigation, the police grew suspicious of the husband after going through footage obtained from CCTV cameras installed near Gurumurthy’s house in the colony.

The command stated that it has strengthened security operations throughout all divisions and area commands, warning that anyone found in possession of firearms will be prosecuted.

Odutola, while reaffirming the command’s commitment to maintaining peace and public safety, noted that security operatives will not hesitate to disperse gatherings that raise suspicion or threaten public peace.

She said, “The Ogun State Command wishes to alert the general public, especially young persons, on intelligence reports regarding planned cult-related celebrations popularly called ‘777’ across the state.

“Any attempt to stage unlawful gatherings, processions, or anniversary events linked to cultism will be met with swift and decisive police action.

At least seven people have lost their lives in a fatal crash along the Alkaleri–Gombe Federal Highway, while 41 others sustained serious injuries.

The tragic incident was disclosed in an updated First Information Report, FIR, from the RS12.13 Alkaleri Unit Command of the Bauchi State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, made available to Ekwutosblog.

According to the report, the crash occurred around 3:00 p.m. at Kirfi Junction and involved a commercial DAF trailer. All seven deceased were adult males.

The lone crash was attributed to a mechanical fault, specifically, a structural failure in which the head of the trailer detached from its body while in motion.

A total of 48 people were involved in the incident, including 38 adult males and 10 male children. Of these, 41 sustained varying degrees of injuries, 25 adult males and 16 male children, while seven adult males died at the scene.

FRSC personnel were said to have responded to the distress call at 3:02 p.m. and arrived at the scene by 3:50 p.m., marking a 48-minute response time.

The injured were transported to the General Hospital in Alkaleri, with some later referred to the Specialist Hospital in Bauchi for advanced care. The remains of the deceased were deposited in the morgue before being handed over to their families for burial.

The rescue operation was led by DRC H.Y. Danjuma on behalf of the Unit Commander.

In the wake of the tragedy, Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, paid a condolence visit to Kirfi Local Government Area on Friday. During the visit, he announced a N50 million relief package for the victims and their families.

According to the governor, each bereaved family will receive N2 million, while those still receiving treatment in hospital will be given N1 million each. Victims who have been discharged will receive N500,000 each.

He added that additional support would be provided through the State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA.

Governor Mohammed described the accident as deeply painful, especially given the loss of many young lives.

The governor condemned the practice of transporting over 200 people in a single truck, calling it highly irresponsible and unacceptable.
