A newlywed woman's severed head was discovered inside a refrigerator in her apartment in Guwahati, India. The victim, Riya Talukdar Goswami, was 25 years old and had married her husband, Ramanujan Goswami, about six months ago. The couple lived in the Basisthapur area of Assam's largest city. Neighbors reported a foul smell and noticed the couple was missing for around two days, leading to the discovery of Riya's decomposed body and severed head.
Her fingers had reportedly been cut off. Police found the head in a polythene bag inside the fridge after breaking open the apartment door. A weapon was also recovered at the scene. Riya's body and severed head were sent to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital for a post-mortem examination. Her husband, Ramanujan, surrendered to the police on Sunday night and confessed to the killing.
The motive behind the crime remains unclear, and investigators are continuing to question him and gather evidence.
