The incident occurred at about 4.30 pm on Saturday when the 27-year-old accused, who works as a driver with a ride-hailing company, murdered his 21-year-old wife by throttling her over frequent quarrels due to family disputes.

In order to conceal the evidence, he chopped the body into pieces using a hex blade, disposed of the head, hands, and legs by throwing them into the Musi river at Prathapsingaram, and retained the headless and legless trunk in his room, DCP (Malkajgiri Zone) P V Padmaja told reporters.

The accused then packed the body parts separately in small plastic covers and went to the river three times to throw the pieces, the DCP said.
