GUWAHATI - A twenty-five-year-old woman was found dead on Sunday in horrifying circumstances at her residence in Hatigaon, Guwahati, India, with police suspecting her husband was involved in the killing.

According to initial information, the victim's head had been severed and allegedly placed in a black plastic bag before being stored in a refrigerator.
Several of the victim's fingers were also reportedly cut off.
Police suspect the victim's husband, Ramanujan Goswami, who is originally from Gauripur, may be linked to the incident.
