The suspect, identified as Manoj Sane, had been staying with Saraswati Vaidya in the rental flat in the Akashganga building in the Mira Road area over the past three years.

According to the Police, the accused boiled pieces of her body in a pressure cooker and later filled them into plastic bags to dispose of them.

"Yesterday we received a report of foul smell from a flat in a society. When the police broke open the door of the house, they found pieces of a dead body in a lot of utensils and buckets in the kitchen. Investigation revealed that a couple lived there, they have been identified. In this matter, we have registered a case under the relevant sections.

"The reason behind the murder is said to be a fight between the couple after which the woman had poison. The police have taken his statement. In further interrogation, the reason behind the murder will come out. The most shocking thing to be noticed is that in such a big society no one knew about that incident.
