Two days after the discovery of a woman’s body in a sofa-cum-bed in her own home in Dombivli, her husband was left stunned on Thursday when the police showed him the photo of the arrested suspect. The husband said the man had accompanied him to the police station to file a missing complaint. “I had no idea he knew my wife. He lives a few blocks away,” he told mid-day. The woman, Supriya Shinde, 33, was found strangled.

The Manpada police had filed a murder case after the body of victim Supriya Shinde, 33, was found in a sofa-cum-bed in her house at Om Residency, Shiv Shakti Nagar in Dawdi village, on Tuesday night.  She appeared to have been strangled with a tie and there was blood on the backside of her head. There were no signs of struggle in his house, suggesting that the killer had entered the place with Supriya’s consent.
