In a shocking murder spree in Bengaluru, a 52-year-old man allegedly killed his wife and six members of her family, including a seven-year-old boy, and disposed of the bodies over a span of 18 days, police sources have said. While the murders allegedly took place between October 16 and October 31, the last two bodies were disposed of on November 1 or 2.
