Bengaluru: A 54-year-old woman was hacked to death and her body cut and disposed of in the limits of Bannerghatta police station of Bengaluru South Taluk, said police on Monday. The cops have made one arrest in the case so far while the hunt to nab the other accused is still on. The deceased has been identified as Geethamma, a resident of Janata Colony near Bannerghatta. As per the preliminary probe, Geethamma owned four houses in Janta Colony. She lived in one of them and rented out the other three houses. The police said that accused Pankaj, Inder Kumar and others who had been living there for seven years, forced Geethamma to give away her property to him and sign the documents in this regard.
Following an argument, the gang cut her body with a saw. The accused then dispersed the body at various places in the city and left Bengaluru. The matter came to light when cops got a tip on a headless and limbless body being found near a bush in Bannerghatta police station limits. Though the police tried to find limbs and the head, they could not find them.
The cops were able to identify the body and later in the probe found out that the tenants had disappeared and gone back to their native place in Bihar.
The police team led by Inspector Umamahesh then went to Bihar. In spite of the stone pelting at them by some locals, the police managed to arrest Inder Kumar. The accused has confessed to the crime.
The accused had shown the police where they had thrown the limbs and head of the deceased. He said that since the body started decaying they were forced to throw it into a bush.
Further investigation is on.
