Fears have been raised over the potential for copycat killings after a man slaughtered his lover and stuffed her diced corpse in the fridge.
The case involving Aftab Poonawalla, a trained chef from southern Delhi, who allegedly strangled his beau Shraddha Walker and sliced her into 36 pieces, could easily be mistaken for a near-identical case from almost three decades ago.
In the 1990s, a Delhi scientist killed his wife after a blazing row at their home before chopping up her body and stuffing the pieces in a suitcase, the BBC reports.
