Allegedly after the killings, the bodies were dismembered and packed in polythene and dumped in the valleys of Meghalaya. The Guwahati Police gave this information on Monday (February 20).
According to the police, the murders were committed in the months of July and August last year. On Sunday (February 19), some parts of the body of the mother-in-law of the accused were recovered near Cherrapunji in Khasi Hills. She was murdered on 26 July and her husband on 17 August.
The woman had lodged the missing report of her husband and mother-in-law

On the other hand, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Digant Kumar Chowdhary said, “The wife had written a missing report of her husband Amarjyoti Dey (32) and mother-in-law Shankari Dey (62) on August 29 and the police had started the investigation.” In November, Amarjyoti’s cousin lodged a missing person’s report. This raised suspicion on the wife because she had withdrawn money from her mother-in-law’s account. Then we resumed our investigation and found out the murders.” He said that both the cases are registered at Noonmati police station and the murders took place in different houses in Chandmari and Narengi areas of Guwahati.
There was frequent quarrel between husband and wife.

This is how the accused executed the incident
The police officer said, “Bandana had taken up a job as a fitness trainer in a gym and her mother-in-law initially supported her but later backed down. This soured the relationship between the two. Bandana claimed that her husband used to take drugs and had many female friends. To get rid of her husband and mother-in-law, the woman allegedly killed them with the help of her friends, he said.
The police commissioner said that on the afternoon of July 26, Shankari Dey was strangled to death with a pillow. After this, the three accused cut the dead body into three pieces.
