The 56-year-old man in suburban Mumbai accused of killing his live-in partner and hacking her body into pieces offered contradicting stories to the police. Manoj Sane initially claimed that his partner, Saraswati Vaidya, had died by suicide by consuming poison on June 3 and he only tried to get rid of the body fearing he might be charged with abetment.
Manoj Sane, 56, has been remanded to police custody till June 16. Sane tried to dispose of the body by hacking it into so many pieces that the police couldn’t pin a number and then boiling some of them, roasting others, grounding some more in a mixer and feeding them to stray dogs. The accused told the police that he boiled the body parts in a pressure cooker to avoid the stench. During the interrogation, Sane also said he had decided to end his life after disposing of the body and doesn't regret any of it, reported ANI quoting police. Police said they are verifying his suicide claim as they have doubts about it. “Investigation is underway and the pieces of the body recovered from the house have been sent to JJ Hospital for postmortem. We have doubts about his claim of suicide,” police said.
