Hyderabad: Shocking details are emerging about the Meerpet cooker murder case where a former army man butchered his wife, cooked parts of her body in a bucket with an electric heater, and then powdered the bones, disposed them off to get away with the murder.
Gurumurthy, a resident of Jillelaguda killed his wife Venkata Madhavi on the day of Sankranthi, January 15, and then booked tickets to a movie ‘Sankranthiki Vasthunnam’ with his friend. The police reportedly summoned his friend for questioning in connection with the murder.
The police found through Gurumurthy’s call data that he made eight calls after murdering his wife, one of them to his sister who lives in Badangpet. He watched the popular OTT black-comedy thriller ‘Sookshmadarshini’ and planned Madhavi’s murder by taking cues from it.
Once the DNA and clues team reports are revealed, the investigation in the case could further progress.
As per reports, the police have been considering presenting household items like the bucket used for cooking the body parts, utensils used, the tools used to grind the bones, and other items as circumstantial evidence to the court.
