The neighbours of Aftab's family said he appeared "quite normal" during his recent visit home.
The family of Aftab Ameen Poonawala, accused of murdering his live-in partner Shraddha Walker, left their home near Mumbai about a fortnight ago. Aftab was home to help the family move, neighbours said.
The 28-year-old allegedly murdered his live-in partner at their Delhi home after a fight over her wish to marry him. He then chopped off her body into 35 pieces and disposed them off over 18 days. He was arrested Saturday, and police said he had admitted to the grisly murder.
The neighbours of Aftab's family said he appeared "quite normal" during his recent visit home. They also said they knew Shraddha who had visited his home several times.
"Aftab's family has been staying in this society for nearly 20 years. He grew up here," said the housing society chairman Ramdas Kewat, adding, "We are in deep shock."
