  "account": "On July 18, around 10:45 am, Vinay and Kamini, a couple in their 60s, were sitting in their ninth-floor flat at Kailash Hills in South Delhi, watching the green neighborhood through their full glass wall. They witnessed a man on the terrace of an adjacent three-story DDA building, wielding a knife. Soon, a woman arrived, and the man attacked her, stabbing her multiple times. The couple recognized the man as Dr. Manish Gupta, who had been murdering his domestic help, Meena Halder, a 45-year-old woman who had worked for the family for 16 years. Their statement is among 42 witness accounts in the case, along with bloodstained house slippers allegedly belonging to Manish.",
