Kanpur, September 8: In a disturbing incident, a 50-year-old man's skeletal remains were recovered 10 months after his wife and her lover hacked him to death before burying his body in the backyard of their Kanpur home. The victim, Shivbeer Singh, had been reported missing nearly ten months ago after failing to contact his family. His mother, Savitri Devi, grew suspicious and filed a missing person complaint, prompting a police investigation.

Alongside the remains, authorities recovered a vest and a locket, which were later confirmed by the family to belong to the deceased.
