New Delhi:

Five knives used by Aaftab Poonawala to dismember Shraddha Walkar’s body after killing her have been found, and a saw is still missing, the Delhi Police claimed on Thursday, in the latest revelations into the gruesome killing that has stunned the country.

The police said they have recovered five knives, each between 5-6 inches long, and they have been sent for forensic examination.

Aaftab Poonawala is accused of strangling his girlfriend Shraddha Walkar earlier this year and chopping up her body into 35 pieces, which he kept in a 300-litre fridge for almost three weeks at his residence in South Delhi’s Mehrauli before dumping them across the city over several days.
