A court here today convicted Delhi's software engineer Rajesh Gulati of murdering his wife in cold blood seven years ago and keeping her body in a deep freezer after chopping it into pieces.

Convicting Gulati under sections 302 (murder) and 201 (hiding evidence) of the IPC in the seven-year-old case which had shaken the nation, Additional District and Sessions Judge Vinod Kumar said the quantum of punishment would be pronounced tomorrow.

Joint Director (law) J S Bisht said the arguments in the case were concluded on August 18.

The couple's four-year-old twins had also given evidence in the case but the court did not attach any importance to it.
 

The blood-curdling murder had come to a light on December 11, 2010 about two months after it was committed when Anupma's brother came to see her at the couple's residence at Prakash Nagar colony in Cantt area after failing to get in touch with her for a number of days.

When Gulati could not tell him anything about Anupma's whereabouts, he reported the matter to the police.
