Two individuals have been arrested in Maharashtra in connection with the gruesome murder of a couple and their two children, whose dismembered remains were discovered in suitcases along the Durgawati River in Bihar.
Two persons were arrested in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in connection with the murder of a couple and their two children, whose mutilated body parts were found stuffed in a suitcase on the banks of a river in Bihar last week, police said on Monday.
The police on Saturday arrested the accused, Deepak Devisingh Rajput (27) and Gautam Karampal Gupta (22), from the Jadhavadi area late on Saturday night, an official said.
Mutilated body parts were found inside two suitcases on the banks of the Durgawati River in Kaimur district of Bihar on May 10.
A probe had revealed that the accused allegedly killed a couple and their two children by slitting their throats, and dismembered the body parts and stuffed them in suitcases, before throwing them away at different locations, a release stated.
The Bihar police informed the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar counterparts about the whereabouts of the absconding suspects involved in the killings, and a team was sent to track down the duo, it said.
The arrested accused were produced in a local court, which granted transit remand, and the Bihar police team took them into custody on Sunday, the release said.
