Mira Road murder accused Manoj Sane has been remanded to police custody till June 16 by a Thane Court. Sane is accused of murdering his live-in partner and chopping her body into several pieces. The victim, Saraswati Vaidya, was in a live-in relationship with Sane (56), and the couple had been residing in the flat since the last three years.
The Scene of Crime
An official from Nayanagar Police Station said that the brutal killing took place in a 7th floor flat No. 704, of the Akashdeep building, though the date of the heinous murder is not known.
The crime came to light this evening after some neighbours complained of a foul stench emanating from the closed flat and informed the police.
A team from Nayanagar police station rushed to the spot and broke open the house.
There they found the victim's body, hacked into several pieces and some pieces missing or reportedly disposed off.
The police have formed a special team to probe the killing, the motives, track the live-in partner, etc. (With agency inputs)
