A woman in her 30s in Kolkata rejected the advances of her brother-in-law. Refusing to accept the rejection, he first strangled her, then beheaded her, cut her body into three pieces, and then dumped the parts in a garbage vat behind a multi-storey building in south Kolkata's posh Tollygunge neighbourhood.
The severed head, found Friday morning in the Regent Park area, was concealed in a polythene bag and spotted by locals, who immediately informed the police. Subsequent police investigations uncovered the torso and lower portion of the woman's body near a pond on Saturday.
Atiur Rahman Laskar, the 35-year-old brother-in-law who works as a construction worker, has confessed to the crime. He revealed that he killed the woman, who worked as a domestic helper in the same area after she repeatedly spurned his romantic overtures. The woman, separated from her husband for two years, had been commuting to work daily with Laskar.
