Thirty-three-year-old Jasvinder Kaur's corpse was found wrapped in black trash bags, with the legs exposed and hands severed at the wrists.

He reportedly hit her during a fight and left her lying on the bed.

Upon realising that she was dead, Harvinder allegedly called his friend Gursharan Singh to help him disposing off the body.

Even after he became aware of the fight, he reportedly decided to help Harvinder dispose off the body.

Gursharan, 27, was jailed for 30 months in April this year for helping Harvinder, who is still absconding.
