Pressured by a woman for marriage, a married man allegedly killed her in India’s Madhya Pradesh and kept her body in a fridge for around eight months, reports NDTV.
The decomposed body of the saree-clad woman, who was wearing jewellery and whose hands were tied along with a noose around her neck, was found on Friday inside the refrigerator in a house that was rented by the accused, Sanjay Patidar.
The victim, Pinky Prajapati, was likely murdered in June last year, the police said.
Patidar is said to be in a live-in relationship with her for the last five years.
She was reportedly pressuring him for marriage, which allegedly led Patidar to kill her using his friend's help.
“The woman is in her 30s. We suspect she was killed in June 2024. After a foul smell started emanating, neighbours called the landlord who opened a portion of the house. The woman's body was found in the refrigerator, the shelves of which had been removed. He then alerted police,” Superintendent of Police Puneet Gehlot as saying.
