India, Aug. 11 -- Karnataka Police have solved the gruesome murder of 42-year-old Lakshmi Devi from Koratagere near Tumakuru, arresting her son-in-law, a local dentist, and two others for the crime. The case came to light after severed body parts were found stuffed in plastic bags along a roadside in Kolala village last week.

According to officials, the first discovery was made on August 7, when passersby spotted seven plastic covers containing human remains and alerted the Koratagere police. A subsequent search of the area the next day led to the recovery of seven more bags, including one containing the victim's severed head.

The remains were later identified as belonging to Lakshmi Devi, whose body had been chopped into 19 pieces.
