Hyderabad Horror: Ex-Armyman Confesses to Wife’s Murder, But Body Parts Still Missing

Hyderabad Horror: An ex-serviceman from Andhra Pradesh has claimed to have killed his wife, dismembered her body, and disposed of the parts across various locations, including a nearby lake in a chilling crime from Hyderabad.

Husband’s Confession to the Crime

The case came to light after a missing person’s report was filed on January 17 by the victim’s mother. In her complaint, she mentioned that her daughter, Madhavi, had been married to Gurumurthy for the last 13 years and was untraceable.

Gurumurthy, a retired army employee currently working as a security guard, admitted to the police that he killed his wife during an argument. He confessed to using a knife to commit the crime, cutting her body into pieces, and disposing of the remains in a lake.

LB Nagar DCP told ANI, ”The husband confessed to killing his wife, but we are still probing the case. The death has not been officially confirmed, and we are working to find out the truth.” Police have intensified their investigation to verify the accused’s claims and locate the victim’s body.

Despite the confession, no arrest has been recorded in the case as of Thursday evening. However, police took the suspect into custody.

The suspect, who is now working as a security guard, told the police that he committed the murder in a fit of rage, and the investigators believe he did everything possible to avoid getting caught.

“As of now, we don’t have any reasons to believe it was a premeditated crime. It seems like the result of a petty quarrel. We are questioning the suspect and we have not recovered any body parts. We do not have enough clues,” Deputy Commissioner of Police Ch Praveen Kumar told indianexpress.com in the evening.

During the police interrogation, Gurumurthy revealed that he hit Madhavi against a wall after a heated argument, which led to her immediate death.

He then chopped off her body using kitchen knives and initially boiled the parts to destroy any sign of the murder. The accused claimed to have cooked her body parts in a pressure cooker for five to six hours and used a mortar and pestle to grind the bones.

The publication reported, quoting unnamed sources, that the flesh, along with powdered bones, was then thrown into different localities, including the nearby lake.

The victim, Puttavenkata Madhavi, was reported missing on January 18 when her mother Subamma complained to the police.
