Virginia man convicted of murder says he did not kill wife before dismembering her body

A Virginia man, Naresh Bhatt, has been convicted of murder after claiming he dismembered his wife's body after she took her own life.

Prosecutors dismissed Bhatt's claim as 'ridiculous' and argued that he killed his wife, Mamta Kafle Bhatt, in 2020.

Bhatt faces a life sentence for the crime.

The jury found that Bhatt's actions after his wife's death were consistent with a murder, not a suicide.
