The gruesome discovery was made on Thursday in the Vyalikaval area, specifically near Veerana Bhavan. The attention of law enforcement was drawn to the scene after neighbors reported a foul odor emanating from an apartment.
Details of the Discovery
Upon arriving at the location, authorities found a 165-litre single-door refrigerator. To their horror, they discovered the body of the victim, which was found to be heavily infested with worms, indicating that it had been stored in the refrigerator for an extended period. Initial investigations suggest that the gruesome act did not occur recently.

However, there has been no information released yet regarding the motive or the potential suspects involved in this horrific crime.
Comparison to a Previous Case
This incident bears chilling similarities to the infamous murder of Shraddha Walker in Delhi in 2022, where a young woman was brutally murdered by her partner, dismembered, and her body parts were disposed of in a wooded area. Such parallels raise concerns about the prevalence of such heinous crimes and the urgent need for more effective measures to ensure the safety and protection of individuals.
Conclusion
The community is reeling from this shocking event, and as the investigation unfolds, many are left searching for answers regarding this brutal act of violence. The police are urging anyone with information related to the case to come forward, as they work tirelessly to bring justice to the victim and her family.
