Man Kills Wife, Daughter, Chops Bodies Into 22 Pieces In Madhya Pradesh’s Rewa

Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh police arrested a 35-year-old man in Rewa district here for allegedly murdering his wife and toddler daughter and cutting the bodies into 22 pieces, cops said.

According to the district’s superintendent of police (SP) Rakesh Singh, the accused Chindalal Saket got into an altercation with his wife on Wednesday, suspecting her of infidelity. He then attacked her with a sharp-edged weapon, Singh said.

“Saket slit his wife’s throat. He then strangled his one-year-old daughter because she was crying and cut the two bodies into 22 pieces,” the SP said. He also added that Saket has confessed to the crime.

Police arrested the accused on Thursday when he was trying to dispose of the body parts. “He was carrying the body parts in a cloth to a forest area when the villagers stopped him after noticing a foul smell. When they checked the cloth, they found parts of his daughter’s body,” Singh was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

The accused was produced before a court on Friday and was remanded to judicial custody.
