More chilling details have surfaced after the Uttar Pradesh Police recovered the dismembered remains of a businessman from a blue drum and arrested his 21-year-old son for the crime in Lucknow on Monday.
The head of Manvendra Singh, a pharmaceutical and liquor dealer, remains missing. Sources say his son, Akshat Pratap Singh, severed his legs below the knees, chopped off both hands and decapitated him. The accused then stuffed the torso into a sleeping bag and hid it inside a blue drum. The accused was also allegedly planning to incinerate the remains and had already procured 10 litres of kerosene for the purpose.
