An Indian husband has shocked many after he narrated before policemen how he killed his wife and washed her body before having s*x with her ‘one last time’.
According to police report, Pradeep Sharma, 25, of New Delhi, is said to have confessed to officers he ‘decided to get rid of his wife’ Monika, 23, after getting ‘fed up’ with their arguments.
Prosecutors have now charged with beating her to death by hitting her with a brick and then ‘smashing her head into a wall’, before ‘sexually violating’ her corpse, before apologising to her.
According to information revealed by Times of India, he told officers he and his wife had been drinking when they argued about his job and whether they could ‘manage on his current earnings’.
He said: ‘She went on and on about how I had ruined her life. I picked up a brick and hit her on the face three times. She began to bleed profusely and started screaming for help.’
The rikshaw driver then confessed to beating her to death at their home in Nihal Vihar, New Delhi, and then bathing her body before taking her to bed.
He added: ‘I made love to her for the last time and apologised to her. I passed out beside her and only woke up around 10am the next morning.’
The incident took place on May 30 and sparked a five-day hunt for Sharma, who is said to have switched off his phone and taken his wife’s with him.
According to police, the couple argued about finances frequently and had been evicted from two houses previously due to their constant quarrels.
Officers tracked him down after raiding several properties before finally finding him near a station.
A spokesman for the New Delhi police told the Times: ‘After the police were tipped off that Sharma was hiding near Nangloi station, we arrested him on Saturday.’
