Psycho Skeleton Case: Woman found living with father’s corpse in Kolkata; she did same with dead bodies of mother, brother too

The psycho skeleton case has been pretty much infamous as it is now the third time in two years that the residents of Behala’s Sarsuna on Wednesday woke up to the stench of decomposing body emanating from a flat on Rakhal Mukherjee Road.

It was reported that Nilanjana Chatterjee (51) was found living with the corpse of her father Rabindranath (86), she did same when her brother died in February last year and five months later her mother. She had neither tried to inform anyone nor cremate the body.

When her mother died, she and her father lived with the body for two days yet again.

On Wednesday, locals, who guessed what must have happened after they got the stench, informed Sarsuna police. The cops then sent the body for autopsy.

The house was in a shambles. “The family suffered from mental illness,” said the cops.

Nilanjana said that their relatives had refused to help, she had told the cops on the previous occasions. But neighbours said that she had kept all the doors and windows shut on their second-floor flat to keep the stench of the decomposing body from getting out and had even stopped eating.
