Deoria : The Deoria police in Uttar Pradesh have arrested a man who brutally murdered his live-in partner because she refused to undergo an abortion.
According to the police, the unidentified body of a young woman was found in two pieces in a field in Barauli village two-and-a-half months ago.
Subsequent investigations revealed that the victim, identified as Khushboo Singh, hailed from Paina village and had been married in 2016. She got divorced a few years later.
Munna, a man living in the same village, was in a relationship with Khushboo and the two started living together at a rented house in Gorakhpur after her divorce.
An intense argument resulted from Munna pressuring Khushboo to have an abortion after she became pregnant, which turned the situation ugly.
Munna killed Khushboo by strangulation during an angry outburst.
Khushboo’s body was then cut into two pieces by Munna using a knife. Relocating back to his village, he packed what was left in a suitcase. The corpse and Khushboo’s possessions were disposed of close to the canal bridge.
The address of a spa center in Gorakhpur city was written on the wrapper of an online shopping company that was found in the luggage, which was a critical lead.
Further inquiries with the spa centre’s employees revealed that Khushboo had been employed there. Armed with this information, the police traced Munna through questioning of the spa centre employees.
He was subsequently arrested by the police.
