Accident – Death – Obituary News : **Body of 70-Year-Old Woman Found in Drum in Bengaluru’s KR Puram Area**
A gruesome discovery shook the residents of Bengaluru’s KR Puram area as the dismembered body of a 70-year-old woman, identified as Sushilamma, was found in a drum that had been dumped at a vacant plot near an abandoned house. The deceased woman and her daughter had been residing in a rented flat in the neighbouring area of Nisarga Layout, as reported by NDTV.
**Police Respond to Complaints of Foul Odor**
The shocking incident came to light after locals reported a foul stench emanating from the spot where the drum was discovered. Authorities found the body only after responding to these complaints. It was revealed that the woman’s hands and legs had been cut off by the perpetrator, and these body parts are still missing.
**Investigation Underway**
Additional Commissioner East, Raman Gupta, stated that the crime may have taken place on Saturday, and he, along with other senior officers, are currently examining the crime scene. The authorities have assured that a thorough investigation will be conducted, and efforts are being made to apprehend the culprit at the earliest.
**Similar Horrifying Cases in Recent Years**
Sadly, this is not the first incident of its kind to shock the nation. In 2023, several horrifying cases of gory murders have come to light. One such case was the Mumbai Mira Road murder, where a 36-year-old woman was allegedly killed by her live-in partner and dismembered into several pieces. The accused had even resorted to boiling body parts in a cooker to eliminate any foul smell.
**Ongoing Efforts to Bring Perpetrators to Justice**
In another chilling incident, the body of a woman chopped into pieces was recovered near the Geeta Colony flyover in Delhi. Similarly, in Odisha, a 28-year-old labourer confessed to strangling his wife to death and chopping her body into pieces before disposing of them in a river gorge. The authorities are tirelessly working to ensure that justice is served in these heinous crimes.
