Indian man kept mother’s body in freezer for three years

    A man was arrested in India after police discovered his mother’s remains in a freezer at his property.

    Police in Kolkata say the suspect, Subhabrata Majumdar, appeared to have mummified and preserved the body with chemicals. They added that the suspect works as a leather technologist, which could have allowed him to access chemicals needed to "mummify" the body.

    They are investigating whether the motive was to access his mother’s pension.
