A gruesome murder in Guwahati's Hatigaon area has led to the arrest of 30-year-old cab driver Ramanuj Goswami, who surrendered to police after confessing to the killing of his 25-year-old wife, Riya Talukdar Goswami.
Key Details
- The Discovery: Alerted by a foul odour from the couple’s Basisthapur apartment, police discovered Riya's headless body on the floor with severed fingers. Her head was found wrapped in a plastic bag inside the refrigerator.
- The Crime: Investigators believe Goswami attacked his wife with a dao (machete) during an early morning argument before locking the flat and fleeing. A blood-stained machete and alcohol bottles were recovered from the scene.
- Stated Motive: Goswami claimed he committed the act over an alleged extra-marital affair, even issuing threats against the other man while in custody.
The couple had been married for under a year. Forensic and CID teams are continuing their investigation.
