Sheena Bora’s Corpse Found Via DNA Testing, Her Mother Arrested For Murder
Sheena Bora's remains were found in Mumbai on August 28, providing one more puzzle piece for this Bollywood-like, real-life murder.
Sheena Bora was last seen alive three years ago, in April 2012. Mumbai police report that a skull and bones were discovered about a week ago in a forest close to Mumbai. After extensive tests, Mumbai police have confirmed that the human remains belong to Sheena Bora.
Throughout her life, Sheena was introduced and largely known to the public as the younger sister of Indrani Mukerjea, whom sources have been revealed is actually her mother.
In a tragic turn of events, days after police confirmed Sheena's remains via DNA testing, Indrani was jailed for allegedly murdering the 24-year-old in Mumbai and taken into judicial custody. The police say Mukerjea's DNA samples were collected after she was arrested earlier this month from the home she shares with her second husband, Peter Mukerjea. Peter's son, Rahul, was engaged to Bora.
Mumbai police strongly claim that Mukerjea, her first husband, Sanjeev Khanna, and her driver, Shyam Rai, strangled Bora to death and then kept her body overnight at the Mukerjea residence. Police claim that Sheena's body was then tossed into the forests of Raigad and set on fire. Police have also stated that they have recovered the shoes that the accused wore at the time of Bora's murder.
So why would a mother kill her own child? Speculation has suggested that, at the time of Bora's death, both Bora and Mukerjea were entrenched in a bitter financial battle. On the topic of the financial motive behind Sheena Bora's murder, Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria said, “We have a team of forensic auditors, charted accountants, IT consultants and our economic offence wing officers. This team is working on studying various companies, investments and properties belonging to the Mukerjeas not only in India but also in UK and Spain.”
On Sunday, Mumbai police officials took Indrani to her Worli residence and recreated the crime scene. They also visited the garage of media baron Peter Mukerjea — Indrani Mukerjea's current husband. In order to crack the case at any cost, police have been tracing Indrani's curious March 2012 emails. Also, they're closely examining her credit card details.
Moreover, the police claimed that they have recovered the shoes from Kolkata that were used by the accused when they went to dump the body in Pen, near Raigad. – See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/sheena-murder-indrani-driver-shyamvar-rai-remanded-to-judicial-custody-till-september-21/#sthash.jgC5G2wg.dpuf
