Knives recovered from Aftab Amin Poonawala’s flat in Chhatarpur have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory for examination to ascertain whether they were used in the crime. PTI This information has been given by quoting the sources of the police department.
The 28-year-old accused, a trained cook, had been evading capture for six months, after he was arrested earlier this month after details of the murder surfaced and had dire consequences during his interrogation.
The second session of polygraph test of accused Aftab Amin Poonawalla is underway at the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Rohini, officials said on Thursday. The test could not be done on Wednesday as the 28-year-old accused had fever and cold, they said.
Deepa Verma, director of FSL, Rohini, said, “The trial is underway and if required, the accused may be called again on Friday.” Results are expected in two days PTI,
Poonawalla and 29-year-old Walker lived on the first floor of a building at Gali No. 1 in Chhatarpur Pahari area. The couple went home to Mehrauli on May 15. On the 18th of the same month, they had an argument and Poonawalla tried to gag her mouth with his hand. He later allegedly strangulated her, police said.
Poonawalla had told the police during investigation that he killed his live-in partner after a quarrel over marriage and the idea of chopping her body into 35 pieces was inspired by an American crime TV series “Dexter”.
After meeting through an online dating app in 2019, Poonawalla and Walker later started working for the same call center in Mumbai and fell in love. But their families objected to the relationship as they belong to different religions, prompting the couple to move to Mehrauli earlier this year.
