Maharashtra: 30-year old man kills girlfriend, hides her body in walls of his flat

A man (30) was taken into custody from Maharashtra’s Palghar district for allegedly murdering a woman he was in a relationship with and hiding her dead body in the walls of his house, police said.

The man murdered the woman because she was pressurising him to marry her, police said.

The remains of the victim, who was prima facie murdered in October 2020, was recovered from the house of the accused in Vangaon village, police said.

"The accused and the victim had been in relationship for the last five years. She was last seen with the accused on October 21," it said.

When family members of the woman tried to know about her whereabouts, the accused used to tell them that she had gone to Vapi, which is in the state Gujarat.

They eventually approached the cops as the victim never came back, the official release said.

A case has been lodged under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for murder (302) and other charges.
