Man explored Snake bite, Contract killing and Other options Before murdering Wife and In-law - 'Horrific' Suicide note Reveals!

Amit Agarwal who killed his wife at their Bengaluru residence and then took a flight to Kolkata to murder his mother-in-law; had left no stones unturned in planning the murder. He left a 67 pages long suicide note, which explains how he explored killing using snakes, contract killers or staging an accident.

Agarwal killed his wife Shilpi, left his 10-year-old son with a friend and then killed his mother-in-law. His father-in-law managed to save himself by running out of the house after hearing a gun shot.

“The 67-page suicide note, of which 66 pages are typed, was titled ‘Mahabharat of my life’,” said a senior official, Kolkata Police’s detective department. “In the suicide note he has mentioned how he had explored various options from snake bites to car accident to kill his wife. He had even thought of contracting a supari killer. But later he thought of doing the job himself as he could not trust anyone,” said a police officer.

“From whatever we have gathered so far, Agarwal seems to have planned the murder more than six months back. We think he had purchased the pistol during his earlier visit to Kolkata. He had come to Kolkata at least thrice this year before the lockdown,” said a senior officer.

“He had a second flat very close to his in-laws. After getting down from the cab he first went to that flat before walking up to his in-laws’ flat. So it seems that he might have purchased the weapon during oen of his earlier visits and hid it in his flat,” a senior official added.

“Bengaluru police have already found Shilpi’s body from her flat. She was probably strangulated. There were signs of scuffle in the Mahadevapura flat. Preliminary investigation suggests that Agarwal first kept his ten-year-old son in the apartment’s guest room and went up to his wife’s flat. When his wife opened the door he forced his way and killed her. Later he spent the night in the guest room.”
