Dharmendra Pasi, a resident of Laxmankheda village, was killed by his wife Reena and nephew Satish, who were in an extramarital relationship, the police said.
On May 10, Reena had mixed sleeping pills in Dharmendra’s food. After he fainted, she smashed his head with a heavy door frame. During the murder, only the victim’s 75-year-old hearing-impaired mother was present in the house.
The conspiracy came to the fore as the cops went through the accused’s call details and the forensic investigation. The police initially rounded up three suspects. But their focus shifted towards the family after they found blood stains inside their house, including the courtyard and the bathroom.
While the body was found outside the house, the blood stains inside sparked suspicion. With the help of a forensic team and sniffer dogs, the police confirmed that the murder was committed inside the house.
To save themselves, Reena and Satish had named three other men before the cops, trying to frame them in what would appear as a family feud. But the police saw through their lies.
Reena and Satish’s call details revealed they spoke over the phone for long hours. Obscene photographs were also recovered from their phones. When interrogated, Reena confessed she had an affair with her nephew. Her husband already had a whiff of their relationship, she told the cops.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Mahesh Kumar said that two weeks before the murder, the victim had a fight with some people. Based on this, two people were arrested for his killing.
