Wife, three others caught for Morbi man’s murder

Rajkot: Four persons, including the wife were arrested in the murder case of 29-year-old Shailesh Agechariya, a resident of Morbi town, on Saturday night.
According to Morbi police, stray dogs exhumed the skeleton of Agechariya which was buried in Kantinagar area of Morbi town on March 3 and the local people informed the police about it. After postmortem reports confirmed the death was a murder, kin of the deceased named a few suspects to the police.
“We arrested Shailesh's wife Aarti alias Yasmin, her paramour Juma Sajan Majothi, Shahrukh and Shohel Majothi on charges of murder. Preliminary probe revealed that Shailesh married Yashmin a few years ago, but of late she was living with Juma in Morbi after quarrelling with her husband and was seeking divorce. However, Shailesh was reluctant to give her divorce. So, Yashmin along with her paramour and accomplices conspired to kill him,” said the police.
Yashmin called Shailesh on February 27 to a godown near Kantinagar where the assailants tied him with a rope and thrashed him and left him overnight on the spot. Upon return, they found him dead. Due to panchayat polls, they could not dispose of the body and therefore, dug a pit and buried him near the godown,” police added.
