Cops Who Entered Mumbai Murder House Threw Up, Unprepared For Horror

Mumbai: 

A couple that never spoke to their neighbours and remained largely unknown in their apartment building in Mumbai is in the spotlight after a gruesome murder was revealed on Wednesday.

Saraswati Vaidya, 32, and Manoj Sane, 56, met 15 years ago at a ration shop where he worked. They were both from Ahmednagar, according to the police, and bonded. Sane had an ITI (Industrial Training Institute) certificate.

Saraswati, a school dropout, lived in a shelter home though she had three sisters. When she met Manoj Sane, she decided to live with him. She told people at home that he was her maternal uncle and very wealthy.

They moved into Flat No 704 at the Mira Road apartment building five years ago.

In all that time, they kept to themselves, said Somesh Srivastava, who stays across the hall and who alerted the police to a suspicious stench from Sane’s apartment. “I didn’t even know their name,” he said.

The cause of the stench was revealed on Wednesday, when the police broke into the apartment.

Some policemen reportedly threw up, unprepared for the horror of human body parts scattered all over the living room and boiled and roasted flesh in utensils in the kitchen.
