A 39-year-old former military service member of India is in custody after cops says he admitted to killing his wife and then destroying her dismembered body parts in one of the worst ways imaginable.
According to multiple news reports from India, a 39-year-old woman named Putta Venkata Madhavi was murdered earlier this month in the small village of Rachakonda. That tiny town is about 40 miles south of the major southern Indian city of Hyderabad.
Madhavi had lived in the village with her husband, Putta Guru Murthy, who formerly served in the Indian military. But on January 16, according to People via other Indian media outlets, Madhavi was allegedly killed by Murthy during a domestic dispute at their home.

Per online reports, Madhavi was first reported missing by some of her loved ones on January 18. Cops in Rachakonda did some digging and eventually found CCTV footage from the street in front of her house.
In that footage, captured three days prior to the missing persons report, Madhavi can be seen going into the home along with Murthy. But she never exited, as far as the CCTV footage showed. And a statement later released by the police indicated that once they descended on the home to investigate, they found signs which “clearly show the accused might have murdered his wife inside of the house.”
But it gets so much worse than that. See, at first, cops in Rachakonda couldn’t find Madhavi’s body. At all.
Well, the reason for that became clear on Tuesday — nearly two full weeks after the woman disappeared. On that day, cops brought Murthy in for more questioning. During their interrogation, he allegedly admitted to killing his wife. And then he also admitted to boiling her body parts in a pot and grinding her bones into dust!
OMG!!!
According to news reports out of Hyderabad, Murthy allegedly told investigators that he and Madhavi got into an argument on the morning of January 16. That was less than 12 hours after she was spotted in that CCTV footage going into her home for what would be the final time.
During their argument, according to a release from local police, Murthy allegedly copped to slapping his wife “with the intent to kill her.” Then, he claimed that he strangled her to death.

Once he realized she was no longer alive, he moved to cover up her death. According to cops, Murthy admitted to first dismembering Madhavi’s limbs, placing them all in a bucket, and boiling them on a gas stove. After that, he burned the flesh and bone that remained. And he then allegedly ground down her bones into a very fine powder, and flushed it and even more of her remains down a toilet inside the home.
WTF…
He disposed of so much evidence that it clearly threw cops off the trail for a while — nearly two full weeks, in fact. But in the end, they caught the alleged killer and closed the case. Murthy has since been arrested on charges including murder, cruelty to a married woman by a husband or in-law, and tampering with evidence.
We are so sickened by this. We can’t even imagine what Madhavi went through in her final hours. Heartbreaking…
