Hyderabad, Aug. 24 -- A five-month pregnant woman was murdered allegedly by her husband, who then chopped her body parts at their house in Hyderabad's Medipally, and threw the pieces in the Musi river, police officials said on Sunday.

The sequence of events of the brutal murder does not stop there. After throwing the other body parts, the man retained the headless and legless trunk in his room, said DCP (Malkajgiri Zone) P V Padmaja, reported PTI.

Later, the husband dialed his sister informing that his wife went missing. She grew suspicious and alerted a relative, who then took him to the police station. There, he again tried to pass off the murder as a missing case, but eventually confessed to killing his wife, the DCP told reporters....
