The decomposing body of a 35-year-old woman was discovered stuffed inside a bed box at a house in Delhi's Shahdara on Friday evening, police said.
NEW DELHI: The owner of the house, a 55-year-old tuition teacher, was apprehended in connection with the murder.
Initial investigations into the murder suggest the woman was killed at least three days ago, according to an investigating officer familiar with the case. Police have not yet revealed the victim's identity.
Police have apprehended the owner of the house - Vivekanand Mishra - in connection with the murder. The matter came to light on Friday evening when members of the resident welfare association (RWA) at Satyam Enclave in east Delhi's Vivek Vihar alerted the police after noticing a foul smell coming from the house.
According to investigators, who asked not to be identified, Mishra had been living alone since his separation with his wife, who moved out with their daughter. Police did not share when and where they moved.
