Mukthirajan Roy, the suspected killer who dismembered 26-year-old Mahalaxmi from Bengaluru and stored her body parts in a fridge, confessed in his suicide note that he committed the gruesome act because he was fed up with her behavior, news agency IANS reported. The police found the note, written in his diary, where he admitted to the crime that shocked the city.

I killed my lover Mahalaxmi on September 3,” Roy wrote. He detailed how he went to her house, got into a fight over personal issues, and ended up killing her after she assaulted him. Enraged, he chopped her body into 59 pieces and stored them in the fridge.

The police discovered the note while gathering information at Roy’s residence. He had hanged himself and was found in a village in Bhadrak district, Odisha. Locals found his body after he had arrived in the village on Wednesday, stayed at home, and then left on a two-wheeler.

“The suspected killer had arrived at the Pandi village on Wednesday and stayed at home. He had left his home on a two-wheeler. His body was found by the locals,” IIANS quoted police sources as saying.

Roy had disappeared after the murder, prompting the Karnataka Police to send four teams to Odisha to find him. He had stopped going to work from September 1, the same day Mahalaxmi last worked. Initially, the police suspected she was killed on September 2 or 3. Roy was the team head at Mahalaxmi’s workplace.

The murder came to light last Saturday when neighbors noticed a foul smell from Mahalaxmi’s house and alerted her relatives. Her mother and sister discovered the horrifying scene: Mahalaxmi’s dismembered body in the fridge, infested with maggots despite the fridge being operational. A suitcase was found nearby.

Mahalaxmi, originally from Tripura, worked at a popular mall and had been living alone in the area for five months. She didn’t interact much with her neighbors, though her brother stayed with her for a few days. The police also found out she was married and had a child but lived separately.
