Body Of Thane Woman, Strangled To Death, Found Hidden In Sofa Bed

Police in Thane, Maharashtra recovered the body of a woman, who is believed to have been strangled to death, from a sofa in her house. Reports said Wednesday that a murder case has been registered against unknown persons in the matter.

The deceased was identified as 33-year-old Supriya Shinde. Her body was sent for post-mortem to a government hospital. Further details in the case are awaited.

As per a PTI report, the incident occurred Tuesday in the town of Dombivili, between 12.30 PM and 9 PM. Shinde had asked her neighbour to drop her son off at school that day since she was feeling unwell. Suspicion was aroused when Shinde did not turn up to pick her son up from school.

School authorities relayed news of Shinde's absence to the neighbour. When Shinde could not be found even at home, her husband, who had been at office, was informed. A search of the house thereafter yielded her lifeless body, which had been concealed inside a sofa.

Shinde's husband was reportedly not at home during the time window that she died. He filed a complaint with the Manpada police after getting back from office.

Officials said besides strangulation, Shinde had also been assaulted with unknown persons banging her head.

The murder of another woman also recently shocked Maharashtra. 28-year-old Carol Misquitta was reportedly killed in cold blood by her on-again, off-again partner who she did not want to break up with. The accused, along with an associate, planned the murder, leading her from Vile Parle to Palghar on the pretext of discussing their relationship.

On the intervening night between January 24 and 25, Misquitta was strangled, stabbed and brutally smashed with a stone at Waghoba ghat by her partner and his friend. Her body was discovered days later on February 3 by a local who noticed a stench from the ghat. The accused were arrested with the help of CCTV footage. More on the case here.
