Man’s brother told cops of his wife’s murder

The murder of a 32-year-old woman by her husband Girish Kote who chopped and hid the body parts came to light on Tuesday night, when Kote’s brother informed the police.

Kote had reportedly confessed to his brother about having killed his wife Madhubanti, but did not tell him that he had also chopped her body into pieces. They reportedly used to often quarrel. When the police searched the flat, they were shocked to find three parts of her body inside the refrigerator, and one in the bedroom.

The police arrested Kote, but are yet to recover the murder weapon.
