The police detained a 28-year-old woman on Tuesday for allegedly killing her husband with her lover, and burying the body under the kitchen floor of her house in Dahisar east. While the woman was to be arrested later as the FIR was in the process of being filed, police are looking for her lover. The murder was unearthed when the woman's brother-in-law coaxed her six-year-old daughter into telling him if she knew what had happened to her father. The child had seen her mother and her lover with the body and told her uncle so.

The Dahisar police said the murder took place on May 20 and the accused approached them the next day saying her husband had not returned from work. The accused Rashida Shaikh, stayed with her husband Rais Shaikh, 32, and two kids (a daughter and a two and half year son). Rais worked in a cloth shop. The police said Rashida later confessed to the crime.
