Baliya:
A 44-year-old woman, with the help of her lover and two others, allegedly hacked her former army military husband in six pieces in a village, police said on Tuesday.
The accused dumped body parts in various places to hide the identity of the victim.
The incident came to light on Saturday with the discovery of hands and feet wrapped in polythene, in a field near Khared village under Sikanderpur police station.
Police said the victim was later identified as Devendra Kumar of 62 -year -old retired army personnel.
Maya Devi, his wife, first tried to mislead the investigation by registering a complaint with a missing person at Ballia City Kotweli police station.
Things took a dramatic turn, when her own daughter, Ambali Gautam testified against Maya Devi and accused her father of killing her.
Based on the complaint, Maya Devi was booked and arrested on charges of murder.
Ballia Superintendent of Police Omvir Singh told reporters on Tuesday that Maya Devi confessed to killing her husband with the help of her husband, truck driver Anil Yadav and two others, Mithilesh Patel and Satish Yadav.
Mithilesh Patel was arrested on Monday, while Anil Yadav and Satish Yadav were arrested on Tuesday.
According to police, the group killed Devendra Kumar inside his house in Bahadurpur area and then cut the body into six parts, which separated the two hands, legs and heads before dumping pieces in different places to prevent identity.
In the example of Maya Devi, the police recovered the torso from a well in Khared Daruli village.
On Tuesday, during the investigation of a vehicle near Town Polytechnic in Parkhara, the police accused Anil Yadav and Satish Yadav, who shot bullets in the team. Police shot Anil Yadav in the foot in an anti -counterfeit fire. He is recurring in the district hospital.
A country-made pistol, a shown cartridge, and a live round, and from Satish Yadav, were recovered from the weapon of murder.
The SP said that Maya Devi pointed to the murder as she had a relationship with Anil Yadav.
Cruel killing, which has triggered shock and anger in the region, comes as the latest in a string of equally executed spusal killings in Uttar Pradesh in recent months.

In another incident in Doria last month, a woman and her lover killed her husband ten days after returning from Dubai, cut her body into two, and dumped her into a suitcase in a ground.
He was still identified by luggage airline tag.
In Auraiya, a newly married man was barely killed by his wife and her lover for 15 days at the wedding, who hired a contract killer.
