Anjuna Police has nearly completed the investigation into the Arpora murder case, even as the accused, Sukhwinder Singh, has been sent to 14 days judicial custody. Sources said during investigation, the accused had revealed that a chain and a ring belonging to his wife were entrusted to his mother.
A police team is expected to travel to Punjab to recover the chain and the ring from the mother of the accused.
“Our investigations in the case are almost complete. Very soon, we will be filing a charge sheet,” said DySP Gajanan Prabhudessai.
It may be recalled the accused, who was accused of murdering his wife in a holiday apartment in Arpora, was nabbed from a hotel in Chandigarh on the night of May 2.
Anjuna Police had arrested him the next day, after he confessed of committing the murder. A Mapusa court had then remanded him to ten days police custody, which ended on May 13.
The body of a woman tourist was found in a pool of blood in the room of a holiday apartment in Arpora on April 26.
After investigations, police had suspected the husband’s involvement in the murder.
Police said that the husband-wife duo had a heated argument on April 22, resulting in a fight after which the accused allegedly slit his wife’s throat with a knife.
