Chilling Details Of How Swiss Woman Was Murdered In Delhi
Chilling details have emerged in connection to the Swiss woman’s murder whose body was found wrapped in a garbage bag in Delhi earlier this month.
Nina Berger was suffocated to death using a plastic bag in a car and not strangled, said sources citing the post-mortem report. Her hands, legs and mouth were tied at that time, and the accused drove pleasure from seeing her in pain, they said.
The accused laughed at her as she desperately tried to free herself, the sources said, adding that she struggled for life for about 30 minutes before dying. “Her eyes protruded and the accused laughed seeing her misery,” they said.
He then dumped her body in the seat adjacent to the driver’s seat and used black sunshades on the car windows – the same that was on the windscreen, the sources added.
The woman’s body was found half covered in a black disposal bag near a government school in Tilak Nagar on October 20.
The police have arrested a man named Gurpreet Singh. He had befriended the woman in Switzerland and wanted to extort money from her, sources said.
Gurpreet used to visit Berger in Switzerland and had suspected her of being in a relationship with another man, police sources had earlier said. He then planned to murder Berger and invited her to India, they had said.
Berger landed in India on October 11 and days later the accused executed his murder plan. He had also bought a car using a fake identity and kept her body in that car until foul smell prompted him to throw the body on the road.
Cops reportedly traced Gurpreet after getting the vehicle’s registration number with the help of the CCTV footage. They seized the car in which the body was kept and another four-wheeler that belonged to Gurpreet.
They also recovered Rs 2.25 crore from the accused’s house.
