Triple horror: Man rapes, kills woman & has sex with body in Telangana

HYDERABAD: In a grotesque sequence of events at a godown in Choutuppal, a 25-year-old man raped a woman, smashed her skull till she dropped dead and then sexually assaulted her lifeless body. The accused was nabbed on Wednesday from a labour camp in Malkapur village, barely a km from the scene of the horrific crime.
The accused, a construction supervisor, had been stalking the 24-year-old woman who lived with her husband at a construction material godown near his home. He observed the woman would stay alone for long hours at the godown, when her husband would go to a nearby college, where he worked as a watchman.
On May 9 evening, the accused sneaked into the premises and cornered her near the toilet and raped her after death threats. In less than an hour, he murdered the woman by battering her head with a blunt object and then repeatedly raped the corpse, said, Choutuppal ACP Uday Reddy. After the crime, he took away her gold jewellery and fled.
The deceased’s husband lodged a police complaint on Monday evening and an FIR was registered for rape, murder, SC/ST Act and other sections of IPC.
After examining people who lived in the vicinity, police identified the accused and arrested him from Malkapur village and seized the stolen ornaments from his possession.
The accused was produced in court and was sent to judicial remand.
Family members of the victim demanded harshest punishment to the accused.
