Before and after allegedly killing his wife, the 56-year-old Mira Road resident searched the Internet for the deadliest pesticides and the weapon that would help him properly dismember a human body, said a cop privy to the probe. He also searched online how quickly a body rots, the cop added.
The 56-year-old man had pressure-cooked a few body parts for easy disposal, in the kitchen of his rented flat No. 704, at Geeta Akashdeep CHS in Mira Road. The police, following complaints of foul smell, detained him on June 7 and recovered some 35 dismembered remains of his 32-year-old wife.
With the police relying on circumstantial evidence to prosecute the man on the murder charge, the cyber cell of the Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar (MBVV) police combed through his internet searches to find some “grisly” details. An officer privy to the investigation told mid-day that four smartphones have been seized from his flat.
