Chilka, 23/1:The Khordha district police have solved the suitcase murder mystery in Nachuni. Two male accused , including the wife of the deceased, who masterminded the murder, have been arrested told Khordha SP Siddhartha Kataria in a press conference held at Nachuni PS premises this afternoon.
According to SP Kataria , the deceased was married to Nili Das of Raj Jankia village under Chandapur PS few years ago . He had disputes with some localites of Ranapur as a result of which he along with family shifted to Chandeswar of Tangi PS . He was an anti-social with multiple cases against him at different police stations across 2-3 districts. He was also wanted in two dacoity cases in Nayagarh . As the deceased used to drink and torture her wife very often, the wife Nili decided to get rid of him.
Recently, on 20th, deceased Manoranjan assaulted her wife mercilessly. That was the immediate reason to kill him within 1-2 days. For this purpose Nili contacted her friend Bikram Sahoo and cousin brother Mitu Das to finish the deceased. So, as per the plan, on 21st evening, accused Bikram purchased the suitcase from a showroom in Chandapur and came to the house of the deceased in Chandeswar.
They had a party and the accused persons made the deceased drink a lot of wine so as to push him to an intoxicated state. After the deceased slept under the influence of alcohol, all three arrested persons killed him by strangulating his throat. Then they disposed off the body inside Haripur jungle at the same night by putting it in the suitcase purchased in the evening. While the motive of the crime is revenge, the arrested persons are being forwarded to court and further investigation is in progress said SP.
SP Kataria also thanked Balugaon SDPO Manas Ranjan Barik, Nachuni IIC Chandrasekhar Jena, Tangi IIC Digbijay Biswal, Nachuni SI Keshab Behera and team for cracking such a mysterious murder case within a few hours.
