Hyderabad Man Kills Live-In Partner, Uses Stone Cutting Machine To Chop Body Parts: Police
A man killed his live-in partner and threw her body parts at different places after cutting them into pieces with a stone cutting machine.
Disturbing details emerged from Hyderabad as a man confessed to killing his live-in partner and scattering her dismembered body parts across multiple locations. The accused, identified as Chandra Mohan, used a stone cutting machine to dismember the victim's body before disposing of the remains. Authorities revealed that he sprayed disinfectants and perfumes to mask the odor, even keeping the victim's feet and hands in his refrigerator.
The shocking incident came to light on Wednesday when police were alerted to a severed head found near the Musi River on May 17.
Chandra Mohan, 48, had been involved in an illicit relationship with Krithika Yaram Anuradha Reddy, 55, for the past 15 years. Reddy, who had separated from her husband, resided with Mohan in Chaitanyapuri Colony, Dilsukhnagar.
Sources familiar with the matter told ABP Live, Reddy had been operating a money lending business since 2018. Tensions between the couple escalated when Mohan borrowed approximately Rs 7 lakh from Reddy for his online business. Faced with mounting pressure to repay the loan, Mohan devised a plan to kill Reddy.
On May 12, Mohan visited Reddy's residence, and during an argument, he violently attacked her with a knife, fatally stabbing her in the chest and stomach.
Following the murder, Mohan purchased two small stone-cutting machines to dismember the body and dispose of it. He separated the head from the torso, placing it in a black polythene bag, and stored the legs and arms in his refrigerator.
On May 15, Mohan transported the severed head in an autorickshaw to the Musi River, where he discarded it. To eliminate any evidence and mitigate the foul odor, he regularly used disinfectants such as Phenyl, Dettol, and perfumed agarbatti, sprinkling them on the victim's body parts. He also sought guidance from social media videos on proper body disposal methods.
In an attempt to deceive acquaintances of Reddy, Mohan sent messages from her mobile phone, creating the illusion that she was alive and residing elsewhere.
Sanitation workers made a gruesome discovery on May 17 when they found the severed head at a garbage dump near the Afzal Nagar community hall close to the Musi River. The Malakpet police promptly registered a case and formed eight investigative teams to solve the crime.
After an extensive investigation involving the analysis of CCTV footage and other technical measures, authorities successfully identified the accused. Mohan confessed to the crime, and the police retrieved the victim's body parts from her residence for postmortem examination.
B Chandra Mohan, an individual involved in online trading in the stock market, has been arrested in connection with the murder, according to Deputy Commissioner of Police Rupesh Chennuri of the South East Zone.
