Bathinda, Feb. 14 -- Two days after a 22-year-old woman's semi-burnt body was found stuffed inside a suitcase on the outskirts of Bathinda, the district police on Friday arrested her friend, Prince Kumar, for the murder. The victim, identified as Sapna, alias Malika, a native of Baghapurana in Moga district, had been residing in Bathinda. The accused, a 35-year-old unemployed man reportedly struggling with substance abuse, allegedly stabbed her to death in the early hours of February 9 at his house in the Surkhpeer area. Bathinda senior superintendent of police (SSP) Jyoti Yadav Bains termed the incident a "crime of passion." According to the police, Prince kept the body at his house for two days and attempted to burn the corpse before stuffing it into a suitcase. On the intervening night of February 10-11, he allegedly dumped the remains in the fields near Behman Diwana village on the Bathinda-Fazilka national highway. Investigators have recovered the suitcase, the knife used in the crime, and the car used to transport the body. While the motive is still being officially ascertained, the SSP said that Prince was living alone and was the sole person involved in the crime. The police revealed that after the murder, Prince got a photograph of himself with Sapna tattooed on his chest. The breakthrough came via CCTV footage from the Parasram Nagar area, which showed the victim with Prince on February 7, the last time she was seen alive. Technical analysis of her phone records led investigators to question 15 suspects before zeroing in on him. The victim's personal life was marked by tragedy; the SSP said that Sapna had married against her parents' wishes and was living independently of both her husband and the accused at the time of her death. Her family has so far not come forward to claim the body. While sources indicated the body bore four to five deep stab wounds, the police declined further comment on her personal history to protect her privacy....
