Techie murders wife in Noida, puts body in bed box

NOIDA: A young software engineer allegedly strangled his fashion designer wife in a fit of rage following an argument and stuffed her body in a bed box at their home in Noida before trying to escape, police said on Sunday. Shavendra Mishra, 24, was arrested after the body of his 22-year-old wife, Pragya, was found in the wee hours, packed inside the bed box at their rented accommodation on the third floor of a house in K-Block, Sector 11, Noida. The couple had moved into the house on July 7. A senior police official said the murder came to light when a relative of Pragya called the cops after Shavendra had confessed to the crime to Pragyas father, Shiv Prasad Dubey, late Saturday night. Shavendra allegedly told his father-in-law that he had killed Pragya after a heated argument had broken out between the couple. On Sunday, the police arrested Shavendra, who hails from Bhawanipur in Uttar Pradesh, while he was trying to flee. During interrogation, the software engineer who has B Tech degree, owned up to crime. According to sector 24 SHO Girish Jayant, Shavendra hit Pragyas head with a huge lock which knocked her out. He then strangulated her with a cord of the cooler and put her body into the box of a bed.
